Professionalism among the colleges of New York State has taken on a queer aspect. Several college-Cornell, Hobart, Rochester, Hamilton and Union, have formed an association and are now playing for the champion ship, and it appears that all except Cornell, if we are informed correctly, have regular professional players on their nines. It may be because we are bigoted on the subject of professionalism, but we confess that we are unable to see what possible right a nine, composed partially of professional players, has to play for a college championship any more than a league nine, under the name...
...boat down Massachusetts bay to some headland, where all would disembark and have a chowder or fish dinner of some sort, the whole cruise lasting only three days and then the navy returned with state to Cambridge in a "barge." One year a large tent called the "Good Ship Harvard" was erected in the yard where Appleton Chapel now stands, arranged inside like a man-of-war, with crew quarters, Admiral's cabin, etc., and the marines were stationed as sentries at the entrance.

...this country would certainly be a novel idea. If such a professorship existed in one of our universities, its incumbent might as an expert give valuable advice to the American Congress, which at present is at a great loss to suggest a plan for resuscitating the industry of American ship-building. Such a professorship would be more appropriate however at one of our technical schools like the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Great Britain at least has a professorship of this sort and Mr. Francis Elgar, naval architect of the city of London, has recently been unanimously elected to the chair...
