...Harvard, and Foster and Wiestling also did excellent work. The umpiring was inconceivably bad. Grant seemed determined to made every decision against Harvard, his ruling on Allen's foul being more than usually flagrant.

The great expense and the inconvenience of rooms outside of the yard, are borne by a constantly increasing number of undergraduates, and the special pleasure of college life, which consists to a great extent in living in the midst of companions...
