...upon the freshman eleven. The News is mistaken. We will do nothing of the sort. The playing of the freshmen during the last week has been such as to breathe new courage into any one who might have believed that they were past redemption. In fact the whole eleven seem to have imbibed the fervor and enthusiasm of the recent festivities, and to have settled down to work with all the determination of a typical Yale eleven. In truth, we have heard the last of the accusation, "lack of sand," which has been so thoughtlessly hurled at the members...

Here, too, by our sides...
...young clergyman - for it would seem that he was in orders, and his association with Emmanuel, the puritan seed-plot, had given a bent to his theological views - soon married Ann Sadler and drawn by those sympathies, we may well believe, which took Cotton and the other Emmanuel men to the New World, he is found before long in the New England Charlestown, where he built a house, which Judge Sewall tells us of, and which seems to have stood till the fire which swept the slopes of that peninsula during the battle of Bunker Hill, levelled...
