...Montreal. Arriving there at half past ten Saturday morning, they proceeded to St. Lawrence Hall, where they were met by delegates of the Canada Foot-Ball Association, and it was then decided to play that afternoon instead of Monday morning, as was intended. At 2.45 P. M. the rival teams appeared on the Montreal Cricket Grounds, on St. Catherine Street, - the Harvards in their handsome new uniforms, the Canadas in various costumes, representing the different clubs to which they belonged. The teams were made up as follows...
...criticise parts rather than personations. But the burlesquing of the ubiquitous Bill Tweed, aside from the original play, was a source of continuous laughter. Probably the finest playing and completest impersonation given during the evening was that of Mr. Burnham as Dinah; certainly he is at present without a rival in college circles in looking and acting the lady; his voice unfortunately dispels the illusion to a certain degree, though in parts that too is conformed to the character...

...representation of Yale at the Centennial by the works of her graduates and professors, be acted on. Let Yale show to the representatives of European educational interests the published results of her one hundred and seventy-six years of instruction. To be sure, her books will hardly rival, in the department of belles-lettres, the poetry and prose of Harvard's Lowell, Emerson, and Holmes; but in solid, substantial intellectual food of every grade she can make a truly grand display. And why not grade the Yale collection according to the intellectual effort necessary to understand the writings...
