...ambiguous contemporary, the Yale News, again puts us to some trouble to comprehend its remarks on the subject of where the freshman game shall be played. It states, after quoting a sentence or two from our editorial to the effect that the Harvard freshman nine ought to insist on playing the first game here, that "it is evident, however, that the HERALD-CRIMSON speaks 'out of the heart,' and it occurs to us, remembering the sad assembly at the New Haven House corner on the occasion of that game last spring, that they may be speaking 'out of the pocket...
...understand that the Yale freshmen object to playing the first game with our freshmen in Cambridge.

...Arnold's remars upon Oxford form a fitting close to this article. "We, in Oxford, brought up amidst the beauty and sweetness of that beautiful place, have not failed to seize one truth,-the truth that beauty and sweetness are essential characters of a complete human perfection. When I insist on this, I am all in the faith and tradition of Oxford. I say boldly that this one sentiment for beauty and sweetness, our sentiment against hideousness and rawness, has been at the bottom of our attachment to so many beaten causes, of our opposition to so many triumphant movements...
