...this means, some of the houses in Cambridge which stand on very high ground and otherwise could not be provided with water, are kept fully supplied with it. It is a great pity that the Halls in the college yard do not derive any direct benefit from this splendid system of water supply, which cannot be surpassed, except in a few of the largest cities in this country...
...come to hear the sermon. And it can be truly said that to these Harvard gives every opportunity of improving their physical constitution, if they won't take the advantages offered their mental powers.

For obvious reasons, however, it will be too much to expect from Anglomaniacs...

They played a dogged, sullen, grovelling game, not for the sake of the sport, but solely to win. The discipline was perfect. There was little offensive play...
