Text | In about 1889, Col. George Kent wrote this verse in response to an inquiry about student games from 1807 at Exeter: "But pastimes and games of a much better sort, Lent aid to our outdoor and innocent sport, Such as marbles and foot ball, cat, cricket and base, With occasional variance by a foot race." Bell, Charles H., Phillips Exeter Academy [1883?], p. 102. Per Seymour, Harold - Notes. the Seymour Collection at Cornell University, Kroch Library Department of Rare and Manuscript Collections, collection 4809. |
