...Catholic schools of the country are to feed the colleges and seminaries, and these in turn the university. It is intended that students shall not be admitted to the university without passing a preliminary examination which shall show that they are fitted by knowledge already acquired to enter on the higher course. Such an institution, it is hoped, must give Catholics quite a new standing in the intellectual life of the country...
...sporting papers in their comments on college athletics would be amusing if it did not proceed from an ignorance of the subject which renders it exasperating. We are glad to have these papers take an interest in our affairs, but we must beg of them not to try to show us how those affairs shall be carried on until they understand them a little better...
...courage and perseverance enough to make a second attempt.

Folsom began to pitch in his junior year, and Tyng, though he played in the nine during his whole course, never caught until he became a senior...

McGill did not neglect a single opportunity to do our men a favor or to show their hearty good will. In '76 Harvard twice defeated an "all Canada" team, the last time playing in Montreal with fifteen, making a score of two goals and four touchdowns to nothing. A few days after, they met the McGill team and also defeated them, one goal to nothing...
