...athletics might be allowed full powers to use their own discretion in the case of any proposed game. We can see no especial objection to the nine playing with the Boston Club, as in such games the audience is almost entirely composed of college men, and the professional element is almost entirely kept out. As long as it is understood that the games are merely for practice, and not intended as contests of any great importance, professionals will let them alone. But we do disapprove of our nine playing a series of games with a professional nine for a flag...
...half-dollar, but at every game there are many outside who could well afford the price of admission, and it is much to their discredit that they choose to show such an example of meanness. No words can be too strong to denounce such conduct. The "mucker" element is a disgrace to our games. They are, to be sure, strong Harvard partisans; but they are insulting to the visiting teams, and a good high fence would serve a very useful purpose in keeping them out. It seems to me very unjust for the faculty to crowd our grounds into...

There were established in America, said the lecturer, before the Declaration of Independence, nine colleges - Harvard, William and Mary, Yale, Princeton, King's or Columbia, the University of Pensylvania, Brown, Dartmouth, and Queen's or Rutgers.

The founders of those colonial colleges were animated with the desire to provide learned ministers, learned laymen and to educate the Indians, and with a love of higher education for its own sake. The methods attending their establishment were typified...
...exponent of amateur athletics. It states its position in the following words: "The doings of men in athletic circles, not only in New York and throughout the country, but at the colleges. are too often slighted in the ordinary sporting papers to accommodate the professional and so-called 'sporting' element, to whom they look for support. We not only feel, but know, that there is a field for a fair and impartial exponent of amateur athletic sports of every description. We propose to supply this want." Its scope includes all branches of amateur athletics, while college athletics are fully represented...
