...lost to Princeton after a short rush of Sears'. Savage punts and Peabody returns it, and again Harvard tries to advance the ball, without effect. Fine rush-line work by Princeton brings the ball up the field; Cowan, R. Hodge and Irvine distinguishing themselves. Price now made a splendid run, passing to Moore, who, when downed, was but a yard from Harvard's goal. Ames easily rushed it over the line, securing the second and last touchdown for Princeton in 29 minutes. R. Hodge kicked a difficult goal...
...argument against the supreme value of the best and most liberal education in high public position. (Applause.) There is no reason why the walks of the most classical education should be separated by any space or distance from the ways that lead to public place. Surely the splendid destiny which awaits patriotic effort in behalf of our country will be the sooner reached when the men of education and our best thinkers, deem it a duty of citizenship to actively and practically engage in public affairs. (Applause.) The disinclination of our best men of education to mingle in political matters...
...ponderous tome as quietly and attentively as he did three hundred years ago; and Melancthon, with his robes about him, is expounding some knotty point of doctrine to the grave monk beside him.

There is nothing which spurs on a foot-ball team to do its best more than the sight of a crowd of their own classmates. After the splendid score made against the Grotonian's last Wednesday, there is no chance for the "growlers" to come forward with their dismal croakings predicting the defeat of their own team. The work done by the freshman team so far shows clearly that it is one of the best that has entered...
...makes a touchdown, but a try for goal results in a failure. Soon after, Porter secures another touchdown. The ball is punted out, but is muffed by Porter. Muffs by Jones and Fletcher bring the ball well up in the field. Harding, however, gets the ball, and by a splendid run makes a touchdown, from which no goal is kicked. Soon after Faulkner makes a touchdown, from which a goal is kicked. After a few minutes' play one of the Technology half-backs is hurt, and Boyden, a Harvard substitute, is put in his place. Good rushes by Fletcher...
