...stone of what might, in a few years, prove of immense value to all students of History, in or out of college. The chief support now must come from the present Junior and Sophomore classes, for, as it will take some three or four months to organize it, '78 cannot be expected to lend much assistance, though a small gift from the graduating class would not be out of the way. Many men in '79 and '80 are already interested in the existence of this society, and it is to be hoped that it will meet generally with as much...
...confused, I spring upon the train The wheels once more revolve, and I turn to go in, - no door! I rub my eyes, and discover, but too late, that I am between the tender and the baggage-car, with no refuge on either side; get into the car I cannot; to climb over the piled-up wood of the tender is impossible.

The Crew men say that one cannot get decent meat when one happens to come in at a quarter past six, and that this has been often the case, our own personal experience can testify. To be sure, the Steward never refuses to give us something to eat; but, frankly speaking, pork and ham and pressed hash...
...have ever met, and we are willing to acknowledge that we did not expect to see in them the great improvement they have made since our game last spring. It is not our desire to find any paltry excuse for our lack of success; but we cannot help feeling that we have learned again the very old lesson of defeat from over-confidence. That such was the cause of our defeat must strike every one who reads an account of the game, and notices that during the first-half, with the wind blowing hard against us, the score stood...
