...time appointed for doing the weights, and said that negligence in this respect and in the doing of the other work on the track and chest-weights, was not only unjust to themselves and to the class, but subjected the coach and the other members of the crew to serious inconvenience, and would be taken into account in the final selection. In regard to the Christmas vacation, he required strict adherence to the pledge of total abstinence from certain indulgences, and hoped that regular exercise in the open air would be taken by each one, of an amount sufficient...
...stigma of meanness. One word in conclusion. Many - if not most - of the best and noblest men of old England, during the past sixty or seventy years, were good at the oar, at foot-ball, at cricket; but they did not allow those games to encroach on their more serious duties.

Probably, however, they claim the right to gratuitously insult, as their players claim the right to play off-side and foul. We are forced to admit that the action of the eleven and the college press has been charmingly consistent and equally...
...suggestion advanced in the last Advocate, that in order to secure victory our team adopt next year the Yale method of playing foot-ball-the method of illegal fouling and of deliberate maiming. Harvard can never descend to such a game, and if the suggestion of the Advocate be serious, it is, we think, highly reprehensible and unworthy of our esteemed contemporary...
