"Well," said Professor Johnson, "I am professor of biology, but I also give instruction in meteorology, botany, physiology, chemistry, entomology and a few others." "I should say that you occupied a whole settee, not a chair," replied Harvard's chief. When Fighting Really Began
Then the rowing ceased, the long oars trailed over the water, as Harvard's crew slid by and came to a standstill.
This is the purport and the spirit of Dr. Royce's ostensible review, "as a whole." Is it the "fair criticism" which the law allows? Or is it the "libel" which the law condemns? Is it the fair and critical judgment which your silence shall sanction, as Harvard's official verdict on my work?
A few weeks later our team went up to Princeton to see the Harvard-Princeton match and I recall, as though it were yesterday, Alex Moffat kicking five goals against Appleton's team, three of them with the right and two with the left foot. I remember walking in from the field with Harvard's captain, and he said to me 'Moffat is a phenomenon. Truly he was."
The wisdom of it was apparent, for at once the ball began to go down toward Harvard's goal, once Yale got possession of the pigskin after an exchange of kicks. "That's the way! That's the way!" yelled Andy. "Touchdown! Touchdown!" This was being yelled all over the Yale stands. But it was not to be.
He reassured me in the laconic and sarcastic manner of his kind, and we really reached Cambridge by the route he had taken. The beautiful elms that shaded great part of the way massed themselves in the "groves of academe" at the Square, and showed pleasant glimpses of "Old Harvard's scholar factories red," then far fewer than now.
Every year when Harvard's learned halls are closed for the long summer vacation, sometimes at other seasons too, he starts off on a trip to a wilderness region, with his knapsack on his back, his rifle on his shoulder, and often carrying his camera as well. Once in a while he has been accompanied by a bosom friend or two.
We all felt a pang of sympathy, for Holden was a square, if rough, player. Harvard's cheers subsided into murmurs of sorrow and Holden was carried tenderly off the field. "The accident made Harvard desperate, and as we were without Cowan we were in the same mental condition. It was hammer and tongs from that time on.
Two of them marked her semi-centennial and her seventy-fifth anniversaries, comparatively brief periods, perhaps, when contrasted with Harvard's celebration of her two hundred and fiftieth year, shortly before Michigan signalized her fiftieth, but symbolizing nevertheless an extraordinary and impressive transformation; the progress of a little backwoods college into one of the greatest of modern Universities.
From the "Daily Princetonian" of February 13, 1933: "Princeton won the intercollegiate championship yesterday with 63 points to Harvard's 37, Yale's 18, and 7 each for Brown, Williams, and Pennsylvania. Princeton won by her brilliant work in the classics and biology.
