This was our third game with Princeton, and, as she was defeated in both the former games, a like result was looked for in this one. Our men, however, had to cope with a remarkably strong Nine, flushed with their victory of 10 to 9 over Yale, and anxious to hang the Harvard scalp in the New Jersey wigwam. Our Nine, owing in part to their crippled condition, but principally to their traditional weak batting, was hardly equal to the occasion. The game was an exciting one, and the score, 3 to 1, was, we believe, the smallest ever made...
...That seems early enough. In fact, I think Cowan is a little too strong in his statements. Burned my cigarette papers, gave away my pipes, and swore never to use tobacco again. Never! I am also going to Commons. I think the plain but nutritious food will be beneficial...
...paper goes to much greater lengths in his attack on our time-honored institution. "K" is not at all cool or persuasive in his arguments, but "goes for" class feeling as an abolitionist might have spoken against slavery.

The Dartmouth Anvil has, however, made its appearance, and we may say, has come out strong, for it growls and shows its teeth at Amherst and Harvard in a most savage manner. Its scathing criticism on an account of the Boating Convention in our last issue had for its object, no doubt, the utter annihilation of the Magenta. Still, we feel in duty bound to present No. 7 to our readers, and will here...
...speak above a whisper entirely regained it by a walk to Boston from a town in the western part of the State, taking a week for the journey. The bracing oxygen of a crisp morning in winter, or the balmy air of the better days of spring, is a strong argument in favor of walking even in preference to exercise within the walls of a gymnasium, where ventilation, especially in cold weather, is difficult. In fact, exercise within doors has always to contend with a disadvantage, and they make a strong point against dancing who urge that it is usually...
