...that with Andover, last Saturday, which could not be played on account of the inclement weather. At this rate the freshman nine may possibly be able to play four games before it will meet the team from New Haven; and still some people are so foolish as to wonder why Harvard does not win. Every afternoon, after three o'clock, Jarvis Field is for the exclusive use of the freshman team, provided it is to meet some other nine. This right was never bestowed upon the freshmen from pure philanthropy, but in order that the team should be enabled...
...knowledge about the private life of the Greeks. These vases have been preserved by being enclosed in tombs, and were not, as some have thought, especially designed for funeral purposes, but were articles in daily use.

My wanderings for the past two or three years have given me a good deal of experience in these vehicles, and I want to say that in scarcely more than half a dozen instances, all told, have I seen Harvard men fail of courtesy to other passengers. Many men are coming to be indifferent to the claims of women to any other treatment than they themselves receive...

As the train moved out of the depot, cheer after cheer went up from every voice, the manly basses of the upper-classmen being occasionally interspersed with the timid squeak of the freshmen. People stared and glared and wondered what it all meant, but when informed by the ubiquitous mucked that "Dem was de Hairvards" their wonder and astonishment gave way to admiration. Stories, jokes and songs beguiled the time, until finally the train, puffing and blowing with pride in its precious freight, drew up at the pier...
