...take most emphatic exception. We deny the statement that our colleges should be influenced in any but a negative direction by the popular opinion which assails them. This doctrine may do very well for the "fresh-water" and second-rate colleges, whose only object is to cause a steady stream of gold dollars to flow into the pockets of their managers, but it will not do for a college like Harvard, which aspires to be the first university in the land. The duty of a true university is not to follow the bent of public opinion and yield...

Unfortunately he mistakes the strength of the few college clubs which now exist, and overestimates...
...crimson or the blue, the effect was a most enlivening one. At 1,30 the crowds began to pour into the numerous entrances of the grounds in such great numbers that the ticket-takers were at their wits end to keep the throng in line. The steady stream was uninterrupted, until nearly through the first three-quarters, though just before play was 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...
