...subject in connection with the late foot ball season, which at the time it did not seem well to criticise, but which from the importance of the principle it involved demands some serious comment and consideration was the foot ball agreement entered into with Harvard by the president and captain of the Yale team, as representing the university. The advisability of the agreement is not now the question; the point is as to the way in which it was made...

The candidates that rowed last week were Walcott, Young, Ganson, Gratwick, G. McKay, Frost and Cummin. Of these Gratwick...
