Seldom has a book collector been so successful in completing the plan laid down for his collection. Only two or three minor items are still lacking that would naturally find a place within its limits. These have so far been sought in vain, but may turn...
Exhortations in formal vein having proved themselves formerly in vain, the CRIMSON casts aside its arterial robe and dons for the moment Lampy's purple and yellow gymnasium suit. Its purpose is to lay bare the shocking nakedness of Ellis and other equally deserving islands to the eyes of the University. Gentlemen! their chattering teeth exposed to the furious tempests, their blue-black lips crackling and rustling in a vain attempt to produce the sadly sweet notes of "Aw, wert thou in the cauld, cauld-slaw" these shivering inhabitants of a deserted island beg you on their unbendable and likewise...
Brown's only score came after a truly brilliant series of plays in the second period. Starting at the middle of the field, Sprackling passed to Ashbaugh close to the sidelines for a gain of 20 yards.

Here Harvard was penalized for off-side. Again Corbett punted to the 32-yard line but Amherst tried in vain to gain 10 yards and was forced to punt. Corbett caught the ball, which went very low on Amherst's 51-yard line. Here Gardner tried a forward pass but failed. Pinkett, who at this period of the game was easily the most aggressive player on the opposing team, succeeded...
