...gentleman of extraordinary attainments in Greek literature, and that his book was unsurpassed in the English language. In 1837 Yale College conferred upon him the degree of A.

The wide sale of the grammar called forth other books, and in these the same careful, skillful hand left its marks, and the same sound judgment was manifested...

The buildings themselves are of great size and of the most...

Soon after play was resumed, a goal was claimed on Simson's throw. But was decided to be wide by Mr. Atkinson. Soon afterwards the ball was thrown down the field a distance apparently of 120 yards, by Reuter, and Woods made a goal by a clever swipe. Harvard played this game in the best style. The third goal was made by a good play by a Union home...
