At any rate I do not hear of such things very often nowadays.

But it was usually of a harmless character.

There were very few instances indeed of what would be called dissipation, still fewer of actual vice.

The only game which was much in vogue was foot-ball.
There was a little attempt to start the English game of cricket and occasionally, in the spring, an old-fashioned, simple game which we called base was played.

But the chief game was foot-ball, which was played from the beginning of the September term until the cold weather set in, and sometimes, I believe, in the spring.
