...recall with pleasure their own college days, when any chance gathering of undergraduates thought it no unpleasant way to pass an evening by joining in the jolly, rattling choruses which college men alone can sing. Nowadays all this is changed. Night after night the silence of the yard is unbroken, save by the whistling of some chance passer. The Glee Club saves its energies for more dignified concerts. The great secret societies no longer "sing through the yard." Even within the last four years, student song has entered upon a marked decline. It was no uncommon thing in the spring...
...founding of the Boston Latin School. Dr. Brooks traces with great care the close relations which have always existed between the Latin School and its younger sister, Harvard University. No school, perhaps, has been so closely connected with Harvard as the Latin School. Its masters have been almost an unbroken series of Harvard graduates, and in return the school has continued, we might almost say for centuries, to supply the university with an annual contingent of scholars including nearly its entire graduating class. Almost one hundred Latin school graduates are now studying at Harvard. The "Harvard spirit" rules...
...played will take place on our own grounds, and if any are lost it will be as much the fault of the college as of the nine. Yet we are far from advising the nine to trust to its past record for future success. It is only an unbroken succession of victories that can assure us the pennant...
...great blessing to be born surrounded by a natural horizon. The Old Gambrel-roofed House could not boast an unbroken ring of natural objects encircling it. Northerly it looked upon its own outbuildings and some unpretending two-story house which had been its neighbors for a century or more. To the south of it the square brick dormitories and the befriend hall of the university helped to shut out the distant view. But the west windows gave a broad outlook across the common, beyond which the historical "Washington elm" and two companions in line with it spread their leaves...
...scientific knowledge of lacrosse that existed among the colleges was held at Harvard. Our twelves had a system of team playing when our rivals had practically none; and, in consequence of this superiority, although we were sometimes deficient in other respects, notably running, we won for years an unbroken series of easy victories. Now, however, things are changed. Princeton and Yale now have learned team play thoroughly, and - possibly through our over-confidence - they have been allowed to keep their old superiority over us in the points where we were deficient. If, then, we are to regain our former position...
