It was published once a month, its editors being members of the senior class. The motto adopted by its founders, Byron's famous dictum, "I won't philosophize, and I will be read," seems to indicate that the lesson of the failure of its predecessor had been learned and that ponderous articles would be eschewed. Among its more famous editors were C. C. Felton, later professor of Greek and president of the University, George S. Hilliard...
...agreed to bestow cups on their nine, emblematic of the victories won against Yale last year.

...their trophies yesterday. They are miniature gold footballs an inch long, and about half an inch in diameter. On one side is inlaid in blue enamel the name of the owner and the "Champion," 1883, and on the other side the letters "Y. U. F. B. C.," and "Points Won 489, lost 4." They were made by Ford, and are of tasty design...
...Worcester the Harvard freshmen reversed the score of the year before, winning easily, 38 to 19; and the University game was scarcely more exciting but few spectators being present. In the third, Yale tied the score, but only for the moment when Harvard drew ahead and won. The nines were...
