...catalogue of the innumerable colleges and "universities" of the West.

The action of the Harvard students who so energetically labored, amid slush and snow, for nearly two days, to prepare the ground for the game, is worthy of thanks from Princeton. No game was ever played with more spirit and pluck, and, at the same time, no game was ever freer from bad feeling. [Princetonian...
