...dispute. It is natural that Princeton should wish to try her fortune in another game, played to the end. and it is equally natural that Yale should wish to retain the prestige of the victory, unsatisfactory as it may be in some respects, which the convention awarded her. We think Yale would be justified in refusing to accept the challenge, still we hope she will consent to play in order to give Princeton satisfaction...
...skating about on Jersey mud in the darkness. And yet on the other hand Yale made a larger score throughout the fall than Princeton, and has beaten her opponents each time more easily. It therefore seems somewhat unfair to make absolutely no distinction between the two, and we think the convention in its two resolutions has perhaps done the best thing it could.

Personal invective (like the attacks on Lamachus) must lose some point in the lapse of centuries when the attacked person has been well-nigh forgotten, while the sufferings of the Thebauprima are always affecting. Again, the "Acharnians" did not give...
