...would scarcely notice that unpretentious blue flag with gilt border which falls gracefully from one of the supports, and on which is the brief inscription: "Harvard vs. Yale, Lake Quinsigamond, 1866."

The Cambridge Tribune says: "The college students desire to shut up Jarvis Field with a lofty fence so that they may realize more money by athletic exhibitions.
