...first secret practice of the year took place yesterday. The first and second elevens played a game of 20 and 15 minute halves, the first team winning by 12 to 0.

Indeed, the claim is made that a practical politician, though of the future in his desires, must be of the present in his deeds. In other words, expediency is better than idealism. This...
Sixteen years passed before another literary enterprise was undertaken. In the spring of 1851, as a result of a movement started by a Sophomore secret society called the "Sphinx" the "Harvard Magazine was founded. Such an unusual amount of interest was manifested in this venture that the Magazine continued for ten years. At the end of that time, however, it shared the fate of its predecessors. The Magazine was at its best during the years 1858 and 1859. One of its most prominent editors was Phillips Brooks...
