...touch the ball with their hands; the body-checking was about the same, a little more vigorous perhaps; when a goal was made the ball was sent back to be thrown up in the centre of the field. On the other hand, the number of players was much larger then than now, sometimes as many as three hundred; the distance between the goals was usually 500 or 600 yards. In those early days the exercise was thought to be a "severe and tempting one." The players wore little clothing beside the breech-cloth. The night before a game was devoted...
...nevertheless, we do not expect to see co-education introduced at Harvard, although we confidently look to see many privileges accorded to the students of the annex in the near future, which have hitherto been withheld. There are numerous courses conducted by means of lectures in some of the larger recitation rooms which might, with propriety, be thrown open to them, and they could also be encouraged to use the library more by having books reserved for them in their different courses. We mention these only as examples of reform which may be looked for. But, as for co-education...

...management of the hall. Without any deterioration in the quality of the board, - indeed, with some improvement over the quality of the last few months of last spring, - the price per week has been kept within the limit set by the board of directors. Of course the larger number of members of the association, as well as the reduced cost of provisions, has had a considerable share in this result. The careful oversight exercised by the board of directors and officers of the hall has also no doubt contributed to account for this satisfactory showing. It is to be hoped...
...very inconvenient, to say the least, and detracts greatly from the success and pleasure of the occasion. No simpler solution of the difficulty has been found than the proposal to exclude the freshman class. Nevertheless, we believe the seniors would be very willing to endure the inconvenience of the larger crowd if, by admitting the freshman class in case of victory over Yale, a new incentive would be put before the class to win. The objection that was raised to the proposal to exclude '85 last year would be obviated by taking timely action on the question this fall...
