...wish to speak thus early in the week of the importance of supporting the nine in the games with Dartmouth tomorrow afternoon and Saturday, in order that every man may realize how much depends on his individual support. The championship contest has now narrowed down to Yale in the lead, and Harvard second, with three games yet to play. It is absolutely necessary, if we propose to wrest the leading place from Yale, that both the games with Dartmouth should be won by our nine. In case Harvard does prove victorious, we have the chance of beating the Yale team...
...pecuniary, and that the now almost total loss of class fellowship is working a bad effect upon the majority of men who graduate. Unfortunately this is too true. In the smaller establishments of learning where the classes are limited to one hundred or less, the men amalgamate, so to speak, together, and the metal of their mind is in consequence such that when any important question comes up all are consulted and all take a proportional interest in the proceedings. In athletics and in study they make up in enthusiasm what they lack in material and numbers, and the result...

The upper-class men saw with the usual misgivings, the freshmen set out on their way to New Haven, and the first news of defeat was not a great shock to most men; but when the details were all in, and the playing...
...English at that. Our use of the words "guess" and "well" is one of the most familiar of these. Indeed, we must not look to London (pace Mr. Richard Grant White) if we would like to hear English as she is spoke by those who know how to speak her. The Irishman who tells you that the church was "thronged" at early mass, or that he "wrought" two hours for you, uses finer Saxon than the dwellers on the Thames who write on his "honour" that the "labouring" classes are highly "favoured" in these days. And we Americans who call...
