THIS year I board at Memorial Hall, and I have a seat at a table on the dais at the end of the Hall. I can't say that I like it quite as well as I did Brown's, but, on the whole, I think it good enough for a law-student like myself. You see I did n't get my degree last year, and so now I am determined to rough it.

...first Yale kept the ball well toward their opponents' goal-line, and at one time nearly succeeded in kicking a goal from the field.

This book will contain about sixty pages of reading matter and fifty heliotypes and woodcuts, including views of all the College buildings, those in Boston and Jamaica Plain as well as those in Cambridge.

The enterprise meets with high favor among the "powers that be," and we predict success...

...noticeable that a greater part of the department for the Fall numbers is given to silly foot-ball matches and other boyish nonsense which make Eastern colleges a laughing-stock in the eyes of sober-minded people. It is all well enough to have a foot-ball game once in a while for a little exercise, but for a number of colleges to take more interest in such things than they do in their studies, is a peculiar product of Eastern superiority. - Michigan Chronicle...
