...feel great disappointment at the score of the game, there is consolation in the knowledge that in most points Yale was fairly outplayed, and that in one of those - namely, the general team play, - is something in which it has been claimed Harvard would never be able to excel.

Consequently, the students are not deeply attached to any particular university, and, as the government furnishes the endowments without favoritism, there is no reason why one university should forge ahead of the others. The scope and plan of all is the same, but each is particularly...
