...faculty has decided that Harvard may play foot-ball next year with Yale and Princeton. It now rests with us alone to show what we can do, and that we mean to play foot-ball now we have a chance. There is plenty of good material in college; but if we wish to beat Yale we must have a good captain. Unless the best man is elected to that position there is no especial point in having an eleven. So far no captain has been elected. The members of the eighty-five eleven have so far been unable to give...
...prominent journal has recently published a sarcastic article on "Harvard slang" tending to show that although we are versed in many strange tongues and, strange to say, even in our own, we never speak in any of them, but express our ripest ideas for the most part in the questionable dialect of Romany.

The new or ethical school considers political economy an ethical and moral science. The ground we should take is one between these two. Sympathy, years of agitation, legislature have been the factors in lightening the load of evils with which...
...decision has been reached. The members of last year's eleven are about as evenly divided on the two candidates for the position, and are unwilling to declare elected any one who may have only one or two votes majority. This spirit is commendable, because it shows a desire to show to the college at large as much satisfaction as possible, Foot-ball has a pretty hard blow to recover from here at Harvard, and only extreme care in choosing for next year's eleven a captain who is sure to do good work and at the same time...
