...honor of establishing the first college paper does not belong, as we think it ought, to the oldest university, but to one of her younger sisters, Dartmouth. There appeared in 1800 at that institution a paper called, "The Gazette," which is chiefly famous for the reason that among its contributors was Dartmouth's most distinguished son, Daniel Webster. A few years later Yale followed with "The Literary Cabinet," which however did not live to celebrate its birthday. It was not until 1810 that Harvard made her first venture in journalism, and then Edward Everett, with seven associates, issued the "Harvard...
Harvard can ill afford to abandon a game the esthetic possibilities of which are so great as those of foot ball. If the Harvard Athletic Committee will but think of the pleasing combinations of color and the artistic roupangs possible in a game of foot ball, and instead of shuddering at it as a "brutal prize fight," consider it in the light of a "study in orange and black," or a "symphony in blue and crimson," we feel confident that they will withdraw their objections and let it live.-[Courant...
...article on our first page on the Dartmouth Aegis. calls attention to our own Index. The Harvard Index is published for use and convenience only. At Harvard, such a publication as the Aegis would not succeed, would not, we think, be at all popular. Certain it is that the "grinds," as they call them, would not be endured here.

An explanation is found, perhaps, in the fact that in other colleges which are smaller, the students are better acquainted and generally more intimate. Only on the score of great familiarity...
...both were beaten. On this account Yale withdrew from the association, but also for another reason. In '59, in '64, '71 and '75, Yale had expressed her desire to row Harvard alone, "because she had no rivalry with the other colleges, and no great desire to defeat them." We think that Yale still maintains the same attitude. Harvard withdrew from the association, because she thought that a fair race could not be rowed under its supervision and did not wish again to endanger her chances by a foul. Harvard then agreed to row Yale at New London a straightaway race...
...other eleven, if a man makes a "foul" or "off-side" play is a good one. It would make men want their opponents to play "off-side," and so would induce them to irritate their opponents into unfair plays by which their own side would score. I think that anyone will admit that the present rules would be strict enough, if it were possible for the referee to watch every man, and see every "foul" and "off-side" play. It seems to me that the best change that could be made would be to pass a rule that the judges...
