...Prescott, Hawthorne, and Motley. And when I consider that through your grace I have been domiciled, so to speak, within the precincts of that sacred University whence they derived their inspiration, and where, during a youth of high endeavor and unceasing industry and self-sacrifice, they laid sure and deep the foundations of that world-wide fame which now reflects such honor upon the University which sent them forth, I naturally am deeply moved...
...would win a victory at New London, but such a victory was considered hardly within the range of possibility. Complaints are made that the race was not close enough to be exciting, and that it is a pity Yale did not have a stronger crew.

We know we are expressing the sincere feelings of our Nine and of the College, when we express our hearty thanks to Princeton for their courtesy, which always makes our visits...
...programme - for which we refer to our Brevity column - includes some events that are new in our sporting history, - the potato and the bicycle races. For the former we can only say that it is very amusing, and is sure to be entertaining to the spectators. For the bicycle race we hope to see at least five entries, and good honest entries. A very handsome prize has been offered, contingent on five men starting, and as there are at least five men in the University who own machines, it will be a pity if they do not all enter...
