...died, and he left property in England. The date of his death is the 54th day of September, 1638. Although he left one-half of his estate to the college, the University only received one-half of the bequest, with the library. This library consisted of 302 volumes on various subjects and showed the taste and education of its owner, but in 1764 a large fire burnt all these volumes but one, which fortunately happened to be in the hands of some outside party.

Jarvis Field was the scene of many an exciting game of football, last fall, between scrub elevens, representing various club tables, or some of our many societies. Just enough rivalry attended the games to make the play exciting, and, at times, really up to the standard of good work. But these games resulted in more benefit to the football interest at Harvard than one could be led to suppose. They did more than to merely amuse the men who made up the contesting elevens, and the score or so of their friends who strolled out to the field to witness...
