...cloud that arose out of the Arabian deserts, no larger than a man's hand, and has increased till its shadow rests over the most remote parts of Asia." He built up Neophogen until now "she shines with glittering magnificence to the far distant Cumberland, and is the very goal of human perfection. Her little world of literature, the College Pen, makes her a familiar byword from the Canadian Lakes to the tumultuous Gulf of Mexico." "In a few more years our College, we trust, will cope with Bethany or the University of Virginia...
...that Harvard and Yale Colleges lay aside all their ordinary forms of emulation at baseball, foot-ball, athletic games, and boating, and concentrate all their rivalry on a desperate race to the North Pole.

Pecuniary aid at English universities is made a reward for special distinction. It is a goal which can be reached only by men of brains, but which lies in the reach of all men of brains, no matter what their circumstances may be. What is done for a man here?

There is no fault to be found that this is so, but the cause of failure must be understood before the remedy...
...regret to hear that Harvard has been beaten by Yale in the late foot-ball match. The score shows that Harvard had really the best of the match, as she obtained three touch-downs, while Yale secured one goal; but, whatever the match shows, still it is nominally a defeat for Harvard. It is said that Seamans missed a place-kick for the first time during a match. We hope that Harvard will soon regain her laurels; indeed, we are magnanimous enough to wish that no club may ever beat her, except our own, or some other Canadian team...
Second Half. - Yale kicked off, and for some time Harvard was hard pressed. At last Holden got a touch-down. The trial at goal by Grant was lost, but Holden soon sent the ball over by a ground-kick. The three quarters of an hour were now nearly ended, but another goal was obtained by Grant, on a touch-down of Tebbets, before time was called. The score then stood: Harvard, 3 goals, 2 touch-downs; Yale, 0 goals, 0 touch-downs. The Harvard eleven were: Forwards, Davis, Tebbets, Bacon, Holden, Hooper, Nickerson; half-backs, Blanchard, Jordan (captain), Grant; backs...
