...engine and placed it under the management of the students, but it was not until nearly 1810 that the Engine Society was organized. The members of the company were accustomed to attend all the fires both in Cambridge and in the surrounding towns, and soon became noted for their skill and efficiency. But their services were not always as beneficial as the people desired. the members of the society were too fond of practical jokes and were too often getting into scrapes to please the more quiet townsfolk. Once when the engine had been newly repaired, the students decided...
...measures are to be taken in regard to a professional coach for the nine, it is high time that they should be brought forward. The nine has passed through one season unaided by any outside skill, and the result speaks for itself. There is no use in continually harping on the fact that the great nine of '77 won the championship, and yet had no professional coach.

Little assistance can be derived from the history of his life. We have no information in regard to his birthplace, parentage or lineage. All we know of his English life is, that he received...
...dreaded state which has so often proven Yale's downfall; it is that of over-confidence. It is but natural when one side is always the winning side, and that too with no great exertion, that this side should begin to feel an over-weening confdence in its own skill and knowledge, and this has been the case so far this season with our team. No important games have as yet been played, and the judgment formed by the team of its strength from these games is an erroneous one. It is not at all strange that in practice against...
