...fitting then, as we have said above, that Graduates' Day should end our celebration, and the greatest zest and energy will mark to-day. There is no anti-climax. The Law School has done her share, the Undergraduates on Saturday showed themselves worthy of the name of men; yesterday all joined in obedience to their religious instinct, but to-day we are to see a feeling of brotherhood and cordiality rule supreme throughout the Harvard domain. Hearty hand-shaking on every side, memories that have slept during many years of work and thought, will be brought once more vividly before...
There was a goodly array of umbrellas on Jarvis Field, yesterday afternoon, about a thousand people being present, including many ladies. There was little wind, but the rain came down pretty steadily all through the game, making the ground and the ball hopelessly slippery. Harvard had the west end of the field and the kick off.

True, little friends, but one end-rush does not make a victory any more than the proverbial swallow makes a summer; you must train your eleven to play foot-ball and not puss-in the-corner; your rushers must run with the ball and not let the half-backs do all the work; or, if they...
...exhaustive; and in the course of the two hours and a half that he occupied. he succeeded in exhausting, not only his subject but his entire audience. The Grand Duke and the Duchess, indeed, preserved an admirable appearance of attentiveness; but everyone else began to fidget at the end of the second hour and hailed the peroration with an enthusiasm in which a feeling of relief was plainly perceptible. The oration dealt with the history of the university and with the causes and proofs of her almost unrivalled glory. It was far too comprehensive for me to attempt any analysis...
