...incidents that happened, the demeanor of the athletes, their feats of strength and agility, - these are all duly recorded. Very seldom, however, do we see in the Advocate or Crimson any account of what has happened at the athletic exercises of a different kind, - I mean those that take place every day in University; the programme of which may be found in the tabular view, the prizes of which are such worthless things as high marks, deturs, etc. Since, however, the attainment of any excellence in this latter kind of exercise is not (as some falsely maintain) the chief reason...
...then (with his hands in his coat-tail pockets) he keeps on in a very measured and confident tone, pausing for breath between each word. He makes translating Latin at sight his specialty.

...late foot-ball match. The score shows that Harvard had really the best of the match, as she obtained three touch-downs, while Yale secured one goal; but, whatever the match shows, still it is nominally a defeat for Harvard. It is said that Seamans missed a place-kick for the first time during a match. We hope that Harvard will soon regain her laurels; indeed, we are magnanimous enough to wish that no club may ever beat her, except our own, or some other Canadian team...
