...this existence, so intimately acquainted with the bustling, every-day life, and yet virtually dead to it, - is not this existence a hard, a pitiful one? Certainly hard, and pitiful, too. Who knows but that It has aspirations for some active, ardent sphere? Who knows but that It bravely struggles against a feeling that will come up, of a lot that is unjust? Of an ugliness, - no, not an ugliness, - a homeliness that is unfair? And are there not vain yearnings, useless regrets? Who can say?

...Football Team has ended its work for the present season, and it may be justly praised for the honest and hard work which it has done. Although unsuccessful last Saturday, no one who saw the game can have failed to admire its pluck, and to recognize that the Team gave evidence of more faithful training than that of the past two years.

...graduates of Yale, who seem very favorably disposed to the idea. We offer Yale our warm support in the matter, and hope they can be as successful in England next summer, as they were at New London this summer. Their crew is an extremely fine one, and it seems hard that, when Harvard or Yale has such a crew, it should not be sent abroad to show Oxford and Cambridge what we are doing in America. We have only one word of caution for Yale, and that is, that they are not entitled to the right to send their crew...
