When the conservation of Boston capital shall have overcome its timidity and an elevated, quick-transit road from Cambridge to Boston shall have been built, we may look to see what is almost the last of the barriers between the two cities broken down. Already the two are practically one in all respects save that while Cambridge is more and more reserved for use as a residence suburb and a university town, Boston is more and more becoming a commercial metropolis and center of business. The local business of Cambridge has of late years indeed been of very slight account...
...states what is doubtless the fact, that there are only a few of the "men" given to this sort of thing, and that their conduct ought not to be made to reflect upon the entire university. And he has no little justice upon his side. The world is quick to adverse criticism upon people and things, but it is not always as prompt as it might be to render commendation where it is due.

...stepped out and spent several minutes in finding a place to put the ball. Having selected a suitable spot he brought out an egg-shaped article covered with yellow leather and deposited it with tender care on the spot. Then a slim boyish looking fellow took half a dozen quick steps forward and let out at the ball with all the grace and force of the hereafter of a Kentucky mule. The ball sailed away into the air, and the entire crowd went tearing after it. It came down and bounded once. A Wesleyan man seized it, and a Princeton...
