...Yale-Princeton difficulty seems to be finally settled. That is to say, Yale has demanded that the game be played at New Haven on Saturday, and by a telegram received from Princeton yesterday afternoon, we learn that the latter has conceded the demands made. It seems very strange that Yale should insist upon having the game played at New Haven, when all along they have declared their anxiety to play in New York. There is something mysterious about the whole affair, and one is almost led to believe that Yale fears the strength of her rush line, or the brilliancy...

These misinformed conservatives will learn with pleasure that Harvard has not only not abolished compulsory prayers, but has remodeled the old method of conducting them so that now they are more impressive than ever. The new change inaugurated yesterday marks a revolution. The teachings of the Quakers have received support. Hereafter no one will be required to officiate, but each student will quietly mediate, and wait...
