...challenge which is on the way from Oxford and Cambridge accepted. In combination, Harvard and Yale could this year put a very strong team in the field, and could assure the representatives of the English colleges an exciting contest. The games need not in any way stand as precedent. It would be undesirable for Harvard to pledge herself to take part in regular annual meetings of the kind proposed; but if it fortunately happens that an English team can visit America, the opportunity to meet them should not be lost. Such an international meeting would lead to very pleasant relations...
...been reformed from a life of evil, his first impulse is to seek a new and more congenial environment.

...doubt but that our stand will be severely criticised, but it will remain firm and will in the end command respect. We hope that the action of the Cambridge authorities will prove a blessing in disguise, and that, after things have cooled down for a year, we shall again play Harvard, and a new era of good feeling in athletics will come about between the two universities...
