Warren Hunting Smith, &lt;u&gt;Hobart and William Smith; the History of Two College&lt;/u&gt; (Hobart and William Smith Colleges, Geneva NY, 1972), page 123. &lt;b&gt;Caveat:&lt;/b&gt; The author is imprecise about the date of this observation; this passage appears in the chapter "Student Life Before 1860," and our impression is that he refers to the 1840s . . . but the 1830s or 1850s cannot be ruled out. Provided by Priscilla Astifan, email of 2/4/2008. Priscilla notes that this book also details a number of somewhat destructive student pranks and drinking. "When I read about all the pranks and dissipation, carousing, etc., I see why base ball and other sports were considered a welcome spanersion when they became popular."
