...Oxford. I say boldly that this one sentiment for beauty and sweetness, our sentiment against hideousness and rawness, has been at the bottom of our attachment to so many beaten causes, of our opposition to so many triumphant movements. And the sentiment is true, and has never been wholly defeated, and has shown its power even in defeat. We have not won our political battles, we have not carried our main points, we have not stopped our adversaries' advance, we have not marched victoriously with the modern world; but we have told silently upon the mind of the country...
Coming east the papers grow more mature in style and management, indicating a corresponding change in the men. Wrongs felt are written of in a reasonable way; the why and wherefore explained with no spasmodic outburst of feeling, too sure to defeat its own end. Originality is introduced. Poetry is more frequent, though not always of the best. The humorous column comes direct from the editors' pen, and is not so frequently clipped.

Yale enthusiasm is proverbial; '87 must see to it that there be only the heartiest support from them. Do this, and come victory or defeat, the class can feel that at least they have done all they could to make a success. The whole college feels a deep interest in the game, and everyone, we are sure, wishes and hopes most earnestly for a grand triumph for Harvard and '87 this afternoon...
...without any violently dashed hopes and expectations, and, except for the intervention of the athletic committee, in a very uneventful manner. Financially considered, also, the season has been successful, thanks to the large receipts at the polo grounds, so that we have not to bear debt as well as defeat. To be sure our defeat at the hands of Yale is tempered by the fact that we scored a touchdown against them, and we can justly praise our team for the excellent uphill work they did in the face of very heavy odds. All through the fall, misfortune seems...
