...years it has been the custom of our Glee Club to give a concert in the yard to the members of the Princeton nine in the evening after the annual game between Princeton and Harvard at Cambridge. It has been a matter of wonder to many why a like honor has never been paid to the Yale nine. There is no apparent reason why the nine from one of our sister colleges should be more honored than that from the other. The distinction that has been made every year probably arose from some accidental circumstances, and from this has grown...
...humanity which is neither degraded nor trivial, but which, though of necessity marked with error, is nevertheless essentially noble and high. We know of no instance in fiction where a love between man and woman, which could not exist and be given expression to within the bounds of honor, has been depicted with the quiet strength and delicacy, and with the entire absence of anything vicious or demoralizing, that characterizes the history of Margaret and Harold.

We published yesterday a programme of the exercises, which will surely be impressive and worthy of the noble cause they are intended to honor. The custom of calling to mind and honoring the sacrifices of those who lost their lives in the recent struggle in this country, needs no excuse. Harvard undergraduates, in the enjoyment of the present, ought not to forget what was done in the past by those who left their college pleasures of the battle-field...
Owing to a whim on the part of Harvard's faculty, amateur rowing has received no encouragement of late, and the crimson has paled before colleges of more enterprise. But let it be understood that fair Harvard has been selected to uphold the honor of the nation in a friendly contest, and this lukewarm feeling will give place to enthusiasm, and there will be such a revival in aquatic sports as America has never seen...
