...weeks before, and could no longer offer the cool shade they fain would have given the fair strollers beneath. The scene in Lyceum and Massachusetts Halls and in the dormitories was, however, as gay and as bright and as enjoyable as ever. The dancing, the ices, and the flirtation went on till half past five, and then came the grotesque march around the Yard, the hearty cheers for the buildings, the Ivy oration (which we can't describe, because no undergraduate ever heard it, but which was probably very "neat and appropriate"), and then the Class of '73 entered...
...Harvard Freshman Nine went to Spring-field on Saturday, July 12, and, on their arrival proceeded at once to their quarters, - the Lefebvre House. Having ascertained that Brown was to be their only opponent, it was agreed to play a series of games, to take the place, as well as possible, of the proposed tournament.

...without much change in the relative positions, they crossed that famous "diagonal," amid a storm of cheers and shouts of "Yale!" "Yale!" Now the blue was everywhere proudly displayed, and the incidents of the race were gone over again and again. Gradually the excitement subsided, and as the moments went by it was evident that another dreary time of waiting was inevitable. To relieve the monotony, small bets and dollar sweep-stakes were made, and among the large family-parties luncheons were eaten before hungry collegians, whose only solace was pea-nuts or doubtful lemonade.
