Three matches were played last fall, - one with the Canada Foot-Ball Association, at Montreal; one with Yale College, at New Haven; and one with Tufts College, at Medford. In all these our team achieved signal success; and as they have met with but one defeat since foot-ball came into prominence at Harvard, it may be fairly said, after comparison with the records of other interests, that the foot-ball interest has a much stronger claim upon our pockets. The expenses incurred in the trip to Montreal were very heavy, and the cost of the New Haven trip...
PRINCETON and Yale are experiencing the effects of the extraordinary religious revival which was started in England by Messrs. Moody and Sankey. The former College was the first in which religious enthusiasm showed itself, and the movement still retains such force there that a recent observer is said to have counted nine prayer-meetings in progress at one time, in a dormitory or an entry which contained but fourteen rooms. A Rev. Dr. Taylor, soon after the revival had begun at Princeton, addressed the Yale undergraduates, and aroused in them an enthusiasm which the labors of two missionaries from Princeton...
...cannot resist the temptation to say a few words on this matter, especially as it has occupied so much space in our recent exchanges.

...Yale Courant complains that the Faculty have sent notes of warning - resembling our "publics" - to the parents of every Senior who has failed to obtain on his first half-year's work 2.50, which appears to be about half the maximum mark. The Courant thinks the Faculty very inconsiderate of the feelings of the families of the unfortunate students; and it quotes from sundry parental letters recently received by Yale men, to the effect: "Don't disgrace us all"; "Is this the return for the money I have laid out on your education...
...Record is extremely religious again, having apparently fallen into the hands of embryo theologians. It has a great deal to say about a new chapel which has just been erected at Yale. It is liberal enough to suggest that required attendance at prayers be dispensed with, as it appears to think that the strength of the religious convictions of the students would secure the presence of a large number at every exercise. The longest editorial in the paper is directed against the heinous sin of Sabbath-breaking, which appears to be startlingly prevalent in New Haven. It appears that...
