...wisdom of the captain, the chief fault lies, without doubt, with those men who did not care enough for the athletic honor of their college to forego the little pleasure of which an early return would deprive them. The longer they stay at Yale, the better will they learn that athletic success is the result of individual hard work and self-denial...
...most noticeable loss is in the number of undergraduates in the academical department, which is offset by the rapod growth and increase in the Sheffield Scientific School. This latter branch threaten to rival, if not to supersede, the classical college, and in the dim hereafter we may learn to speak of Yale as a scientific school with a classical department attached. Compare these Yale figures with our own. The figures for 1883-84 at Harvard were 1522, an increase of nearly a hundred, and for 1884-85, 1586, a gain of 64. While Yale has gone backward during the last...

...notwithstanding all this we challenged them again to play this week; we had worked for the game and hated to give it up.

(Query, does Yale close in March, or is the second half-year a three-quarters?) With this, all our hopes for a game are at an end. Our team has kept training to the last, laboring under the vain delusion that Yale would finally give up child's play. We have been...
...beginning of this season your Committee decided to attend the games of the Inter-collegiate Series and to observe them carefully in order to learn the precise nature of the game as played by college teams under the revised rules. We have attended four games, those of the Harvard-Yale-Princeton series, and one between Wesleyan and the University of Pennsylvania played in New York on the morning of Thanksgiving day for the third place among the college teams...
