...then he puts his head down and rushes blindly into the crowd and - "Down! How much did we lose that time? Ten yards? Well, try it again." There is no use denying that our men play a plucky game. There has never been any lack of courage in their conduct on the field; but the strategy which goes to make a victorious team is lacking. The Princeton team of a year ago were so trained in passing, and especially passing when tackled that six men would assist in making one rush, before the ball was finally declared down. What...
...fare has been reduced to a sum that is within the means of the majority of the class, and under the circumstances it is simply disgraceful that no more than twenty names have been signed in the book at Leavitt & Peirce's. Let us hear no more of conduct such as every right-minded student should blush to call his own, but let every man who has not an examination on Saturday, or who is not in a condition of absolute poverty, buy a ticket, go to New Haven, and cheer on the nine to victory and honor...

...offered one of the most respected officials of the college by a crowd of men who collected underneath his window and amused themselves by throwing firecrackers and torpedoes against the panes. Such childishness is not to be tolerated at Harvard; and childishness is a mild term for such ungentlemanly conduct. We are glad to say that student opinion condemns all nonsense of this kind, and we trust that in future celebrations, no amount of excitement will make Harvard students forget the respect due to instructors and their own positions as gentlemen...
