...improving every year, and we notice a more manly spirit. It was toward this feeling of friendly and open intercourse that Mr. Cowles' speech tended the other evening, and those who heard it were more than glad to return the advance in double measure, And so we feel sure that any ill feeling between Harvard and Yale in the past is due in a great measure to the careful nourishing of the seeds of jealousy by outside influences, particularly by that of the daily public press. Careless reporting and "special" work done for the sake of filling "space...
...Harvard" is the work of the compilers of that book, and they are responsible for whatever inaccuracies in arrangement or in typography the song may now exhibit. When we state that the compiling and publishing of "Songs of Harvard" was the work of a single month, we feel sure of the indulgence of the public towards the few mistakes of this sort which the book may contain - mistakes which are well-nigh unavoidable, even where the work of compilation is performed under the most favorable circumstances of time and place...
There is not the same necessity of reform in college base-ball as there is in college foot-ball, to be sure.

But the cause of the opposition which grew up among the majority of men was both...
...first meeting, which would have brought all the sparring on one already over-crowded day, and also would have unjustly handicapped men who might wish to enter not only the feather-weight, but also the light-weight contests. A number of arguments have been urged, to be sure, against having any boxing on a Ladies' Day, the chief of which was that no lady could with propriety witness the sport. Such an argument is, we may say, puerile; for a feather-weight match properly conducted is merely a display of dexterity and grace, attributes which our fair friends are especially...
