Yale students do not generally seem to oppose the ultra-conservative policy of their college. The college papers indulge in frequent sarcasm upon the subject and one might imagine from their tone that the condition of affairs at Yale was altogether very gloomy and hopeless, and that such a thing as progress was quite unknown in the Yale faculty. It is quite to the honor of Yale students, as of all college students, that they are always to be found on the side of progress and in favor of more liberal methods.

...nine has never beaten Yale. Yet there are a few now living who can remember that '81 was the last class to beat Yale in base-ball, and in view of a coincidence which shall later appear, it may not be uninteresting to '86 to know just how the thing was done...
