Princeton, and I have observed a gradual failure of scientific playing among the college boys; their "teams" do not plan a campaign and work it out, they trust to talk by judge and captain too much; but worse than all this, I have seen a lack of courage. There has been one man on the Yale team that has put to rout the Harvard players whenever he approached; and when in a tussle two men are down, the cowards are ready enough to jump on the pile. If irregularities occur, I believe they are due to want of pluck...
...shall consult together and make some amendments to the present rules, which can be laid before the convention; and, if accepted, will probably insure the continuance of the game here. All who take an interest in the game are cordially invited to attend, and it is suggested that they talk it over and decide among themselves, who are good men with a thorough knowledge of the game, before going to the meeting, so that there may be as little confusion and delay as possible...

But really they have seen only the outside of what the college has to show only the largeness and grandeur of the parietal resources of Harvard. Could they see what these buildings contain, they would certainly find much more to interest them...
PLAIN EDITORALAL TALK.-The University. And especially the professional schools, should congratulate themselves that Tuesday's vote resulted in the defeat of Col. James Scripps for legislature. For years he has been a bitter opponent of every improvement needed by the University and his candidacy was nothing more than an attempt to reach a position from which he could strike more letting blows at a grand old school. Every friend of liberal education will rejoice at the defeat of such an ignorant and blatant demagogue. -[Michigan Argonaut...
