November. 23, at/New Hnven. the Yale and Harvard football gladiators matched 'their wi'A and stamina In a struggle for vlctbry before forty thousand persons ,of both sexes waving flags and shotting at the top of their lungs. It is a pity that Dr. David F. Atwater of Springfield. the oldest living graduate fof Vnlo nlooo a# ?? as V.ubo ui iuu?, WUIU I JUL Bi;?3 IUU performance, for there whs nothing like It In his days at college. The Spectacle would be too strenuous for '.he old gentleman, however, and as for getting to the field of battle and returning safely to his home without jhyslcnl hurt or mental collapse. It Is lot to be thought of as feasible at his ; lge. Football as a visual diversion Is i game for youth and for vigorous niddle life. When Dr. At^ater was at New Hav?n_ the students were not athletic. tVhat they spent on college sports vould scarcely ly?ve filled a blind nan's cup with coppers. " The doctor emembers a gyrninaslum, but It was rery small, the apparatus was meager, ind the students made little use of it. ">ne does not Have to go further back han the late seventies at Harvard to emember that the gymnasium of that; lomparatlveiy modern day was a clriular brick building not much larger! han a prosperous farmer's smoke- j louse; ridiculously primitive and In- j dequate wfas the equipment accord ng to latter day notions, and the su erintendeht was a stout gray little nan who Jcould spar and fence a bit. >ut that jras about all. To return to Yale in 1834-39, physial prowess seems to have been demandedA>nly when "town" and "gown" ought Atgether, and brute strength ! ras than more In evidence than skill m boxing and wrestling./ The college sader in such affrays was known as fajor P-uliy, the biggest and sturdiest nan in 4 his class, according to Dr.. XwaterV Yale men were much given o debating and literary expression. iLlnonla.*' "Brothers In Unity" and Calliope,^* were some of the societies quipped with libraries and bristling rlth logicians, the rivalry between hese orfranications being Intense, imusem As of any kind wpre limited, nd from"ur point of view they were ame eno>JKh.

Proessor Benjamin Silliman was arguing | hat it would^ never be possible to ulld steamship^ powerful enough to roes the Atlantic. The college landings then consistd of & row of Vjrick dormitories, a lain chapel, an fVheneum and lyceum ulldlng in whlchihe recitations were ield; round theim an ran the old /ooden "Yale fen^." Entrance exmlnatlons were ora and exclusively lasslcal. Flint an A tinder supplied snitlon; imported fiction matches, ew in number, were regarded as dan:erous.
