...pouring over a lot of musty books, prevents him from using the library as much as he ought, and as much as he would like to do. Pangs of regret are constantly shooting up in men who use the library but little, and it is in vain that they say to themselves evenings when they have nothing to do, "Oh, if the library were only open now I should use it." Fully one quarter of the service which could be given to students by the library is absolutely destroyed by the obstinacy and stubborness of the college authorities. Financial considerations...
...foot-ball management to a matter which deserves to be remedied. While the Harvard eleven retires to the Pudding building in the intermission between the first and second half of a game, the visiting team are allowed to remain out in the field. This is discourteous, to say the least, and the remedy is so simple it ought to be immediately applied. Why should not the visiting team be invited to share what cheer the warmth (?) of the Pudding building will afford...
...victory of Saturday has awakened the spirit of Harvard which has lain in a lethargic state so long. Instead of periodical grunts and growling about the eleven, words of hope and encouragement are now heard.

Disgruntled criticism has done much evil here in the past. It has been caused by defeats to a great extent, but it has reacted upon the players...
...field clear than they do instructing the players. Carelessnes like this on the part of any men who know the value of practice for the team, and that the foot-ball field is the place for such practice, and not for the spectators to stand in,- carelessness, I say, is greatly to be blamed. Every man can see exactly as well if all stand behind the line as they should. But whether he can or no is a matter of small consequence. Jarvis is for the practice of the eleven, and if he cannot see the practice to his satisfaction...
Tangible evidence of Harvard's capacity to succeed, if she only takes the trouble, has been afforded. At the opening of the term we mentioned the well-worn saying, "Oh! they don't know how to play foot-ball at Harvard!" and joined our entreaties to those of the college that this trite remark might become as pathetic in its application as that satire, "Yale men say." Our hopes have been fulfilled, and Harvard has taken its place among the first of the contestants in the foot-ball arena...
