...recreation for the mind, but I cannot understand why it should not on that account be well cultivated. The art of self-defence, while it gives a person a happy confidence as an athlete, does not destroy the instincts of the gentleman, but engenders on the contrary equanimity of temper.

Upon motion of Mr. Phillips, it was voted to play foot-ball any way this fall, whether with Yale or the smaller colleges, or in class games among ourselves. Great applause greeted this motion; the temper of the meeting was evidently strongly in favor of a revival of the good old game. Mr. Kimball then urged all men who know anything about the game to present themselves on Jarvis today at four o'clock. In the course of a few days, 15 or 20 men will be selected...
