Greetings, Brooklyn. Today is the 307th day of the year.

ON THIS DAY IN 1934, the Brooklyn Daily Eagle published an article titled “Princeton-Harvard Grid Feud Renewed.”

The article focused on Harvard and Princeton facing off in football after an eight year gap.

“In the air there is even a note of sheepishness, signifying, let us hope, a chastened spirit on both sides and the complete exorcism of the silly mad hate which disrupted their relations in 1926,” the Eagle reported.
