...game which is so popular at Yale and Princeton, nor can we see any signs of a diamond. Botany appears to supersede all other field sports, and has prevailed to such an alarming extent of late, that the faculty are said to have thoughts of prohibiting its practice within certain limits of the college, that the grass may have a chance to grow. The college grounds far exceed those of Harvard in extent and include a lake and adjacent pond. The buildings while few in numbers, greatly surpass both in appointment and convenience those of our Alma Mater. The larger...
...that we write the following words on our athletic record of last year. We have no desire to speak severely, for the records that our teams made during the year '83-'84 speak far more strongly than we could, or, indeed, have any wish to do. But there are certain facts which it would be well for us to examine in this connection. We have been defeated regularly in foot ball-as a matter of course-year after year, and last fall we underwent the same experience. In lacrosse we were soundly beaten by both Princeton and Yale, and took...
...have even a chance for the championship. To win, or even tie for first place both Dartmouth games would have to be won. "This position," says the Dartmouth, "appears slightly egotistical."

...proceeded to take possession of our rooms, or rather alcoves, for they are little more. Each alcove is provided with a bed, a hard mattress, an exceedingly hard pillow, and a sort of a rough shelf, which serves as a wash stand. The walls are decorated to a certain extent with the statistics of former races, the autographs of former oarsmen, and sarcastic observations from unknown visitors, very partial to our adversaries and uncomplimentary to ourselves...
...elevation directly opposite the starting buoy. The Columbia quarters and boathouse are right across the river, and each crew can know, with but little trouble the movements of the other. The Yale quarters are about half a mile above ours, but their movements too can be observed to a certain extent with the aid of a glass. Our quarters are a great deal exposed to both sun and wind, but the broad veranda supplies shade, and shelter from the wind can always be found. The one large room up-stairs is entirely devoted to the purposes of a dormitory. Underneath...
