...they were past redemption. In fact the whole eleven seem to have imbibed the fervor and enthusiasm of the recent festivities, and to have settled down to work with all the determination of a typical Yale eleven. In truth, we have heard the last of the accusation, "lack of sand," which has been so thoughtlessly hurled at the members of the ninety foot-ball team. There is now no more need of complaint. Let the New Haven men beware, for "We're going to beat Yale." Now a word to the News. We recognize the peculiar ability which...
...University. Now '90 is doing neither of these things. They began with a slhurge, did fairly well for a freshman team, and at once thought they played rather better than the university did. Then they went to Groton, and managed to win a game; but they apparently have no "sand" left after this one game. They found that foot-ball meant work, and so they have stopped playing foot-ball entirely. For a week they have done nothing except come out on the field in a leisurely manner, look round a little while, and then go in again, perfectly satisfied...
...planned to make a quadrangle of the library, Divinity Hall, and at some future date of a chapel which will be to the southeast of Divinity. The woods to the east will complete the square.

...Harvard nine is in daily practice. They have an ample cage to practice in where they "slug" bars sand-filled, and go through the other mysteries of "throw us a catch, Jimmy;" * * * Their battery, with few exceptions, remains unchanged. Phillips, last year's 3rd base in now captain, vice Beman resigned. Smith, (olim second base) is pitcher; his forte is "drops and curves." * * * The same men are on the crew this year, except Penrose and Starron. Mumford is captain, vice Storm resigned. - Harvard athletics in Cornell...
...school room, and many other such practical ways. The teachers make tours with the pupils in the surrounding country, map in hand, and thus the meaning of the various geographical signs used on the maps is almost plastically impressed upon them. Such devices as making relief maps of sand and drawing charts of given districts are resorted to in no small measure. Gradually a wider view of the world's geography is given them, but without that ridiculous heaping of dry facts and statistics so common in our teaching. The brain is not loaded down with long lists of names...
