...correct it this year. However, it is a most fitting time to suggest that some regulations against it ought to be made before the next season. It has become almost a regular habit at every game for a few thoughtless persons, towards the end, to leave their places and stand nearer the line without paying any attention to the fact that they were obstructing the view of those behind. This had the effect of bringing those who could not see as well into the line and straightway those on the lower tiers of seats were compelled to abandon them...
...called, a glance about the field seemed to reveal it filled to the fullest extent. Fully 10,000 people passed the gates. The colors of the two colleges were every where displayed, and relieved the monotonous black of the dense crowds packed about the since lines.

The position of the Harvard faculty has always...
...punishment of crime increases the number of criminals and causes the degeneration of those for whom the laws are made ? Foot-ball is not a game for invalids, but it is greatly enjoyed by robust and vigorous young men. It cannot be expected that such young men will stand upon ceremony in the hard struggles which are a part of the game, but our college players are not ruffians and they do not become brutes while playing. We cannot change human nature, and sometimes a player loses his temper or interferes with an opponent in an improper way without intending...
