Morse, who made the final rebuttal speech of the evening, summed up the preceding speeches of both sides. The claim that the condition of affairs in the Transvaal was intolerable, stood untouched by the negative. International law gave England the right to interfere for the protection of her subjects and even of the natives--a right promised by the Boers in the negotiations regarding the conventions. But conventions aside, England had the general right to protect her citizens, and Princeton did not deny this. The South African troubles had to be faced by England, but, in facing them...

Throughout the first and second acts there was a tedious succession of long monologues and one-sided conversations in which the speakers, as a rule, overacted their parts.

Since the Amherst line stood very high, the Harvard line found it easy to open holes at will, by applying the principles of playing which have lately been drilled into them. Consequently the game was in many respects of much less value than the ordinary practice against the second eleven...
