...examination most students become filled with a spirit of exultation-shall we call it-which must be taken as the natural result of a release from the severe strain just passed through with. When filled with this spirit, students are much more approachable than they ordinarily are and often yield to instincts which, were it not for the infusion of said spirits, would have no influence whatever. We have every reason to suppose from what we have seen that the close of the recent examination does not differ in the least from similar occasions in the past and that...
...success in life as ripe scholarship or literary culture. Courage, resolution, and perseverance are required in all the men who excel in athletic sports. The faculty for organization, executive power, the qualities which enable men to control and lead other men, and again those other qualities by which men yield faithful obedience to recognized authority, are all called into action in every boat race, in every ball contest, and through all the preliminary training. In athletics the college world is a little republic of young men with authority for government delegated to presidents, captains, and commodores, and loyally supported...

...Advantage was about even from the kick-off which followed, and the game closed securely in Yale's hands by a score of 23 points to 2. This touchdown is the first made on Yale by Harvard for several years; it was very disappointing, however, that it did not yield a goal. Our men, Codman especially, tackled very finely as a rule, and Henry's kicking was far more skilful than anything Yale could show, but the advantage of weight and activity gave Yale her large score. Appleton played a remarkably plucky game in consideration of his recent severe illness...
...University of Pennsylvania had played Harvard so close. The game was well played throughout, the tackling being hard and the running good. In the first half Princeton had the wind in her favor and Wanamaker made a touchdown for Princeton in the first few minutes, but it failed to yield a goal. The ball was again put in play and forced into Pennsylvania's quarters, and they barely escaped making a safety touch down. The ball was at last forced back of the twenty-five yard line, where Baker made a free catch, from which a goal was kicked...
