...Columbia! that you should have come to this. Not content with your experience of last year, your glorious (?) victory of two years ago, you must extort this resolution from our willing faculty, ready to yield anything to any college, however unimportant, that had the hardihood to ask. The authority of dozens of races, won in the last mile, of hosts of crew men, who have rowed in four-mile races and are still "alive," is as nothing beside the desire to propitiate everybody.

An English correspondent has recently written a letter in which he comments on these two styles of play. He speaks in conclusion about the distinctive...
...widely from those in our own day, for after being reprimanded he writes thus repentantly home to his mother : "If the tobacco I have sometimes taken be a just grievance to any, I desire them to know yt if ye forbearance or utter aviodance of it will give ym content, I shall quickly quite ridd myself...
