...left bank of the river Thames, some twenty miles from London, right opposite the town of Windsor, lies Eton, or rather the school, which gives its name to the few surrounding hamlets. The school was founded as early as 1441, by Henry the Sixth, and has ever since come under the care and personal supervision of the monarchs of England, who frequently were visitors on account of the nearness of the school to Windsor Castle. From a paltry hundred, including masters and fellows, the attendance has now increased to 850 scholars alone, and the roll of instructors equals many...
...convinced against his will," the old proverb runs, "has the same opinion still," and we are faint to believe that this defiant attitude represents the present state of mind of our brethren of the News. "To show that we were right in the grounds we took," says the News, after reading our disproof of their editorial, "we published some facts which we obtained with great care, and which we know to be accurate." How accurate these "facts" were, our readers had an opportunity of judging by reading the letters we published, written by the managers of the teams called...

We do not doubt that Mr. Goodwin was entirely right in stating that the whole college would support the freshman in this demand, or in anything else the freshmen might determine upon, although the remarks of the Courant hardly point that way. But it is this blind support that Yale always gives all her organizations, without regard to the justice...
...Yale seems determined in this matter, it rests entirely with the management of our freshmen nine whether or not we are to have the annual contest this year. If the Harvard freshmen are willing to swallow the threats of Yale and yield in a case where they have right on their side, the usual game will be played at New Haven on the twenty-fourth of next month. If, on the contrary, the Harvard freshmen decide that the time has come for a stop to Yale encroachments, the game will probably be abandoned and the Yale freshmen can march...
