...open letter to the President and fellows of Harvard College through the columns of the Turf, Field and Farm, in which he attacks the Harvard Veterinary School in a very vigorous and somewhat excited manner. The gentleman that wrote it assures his readers that "he is not a 'sore head' " but that he looks upon the "subscription plan" by which the school is carried on as "a disgrace to Harvard College and as bound to exert a most baneful influence, by its example, on the future of American veterinary medicine." This subscription plan which has been adopted is the same...
...costumes of the 'Birds' were probably less conventional and more picturesque than those actually employed by Aristophanes and their ornithological accuracy was secured as nearly as possible by Prof. Newton.

"Passing" the ball was a practice utterly unknown ; the art of "packing" a scrimmage was in its infancy ; the laws of "off-side" were crude and unsatisfactory. So also with the Association game, "middling," "corner kicks," "head play" were not known ; the men played where they liked, and there was little or none of that organization of the field which is now deemed absolutely necessary in order to ensure success...
