1 quote found searching on Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

(Ball-playing at Bowdoin College) communicated such an impulse to our limbs and joints that there is nothing now heard of, in our leisure hours, but ball, ball, ball. I cannot prophesy with any degree of accuracy concerning the continuance of this rage for play, but the effect is good, since there has been a thouroughgoing reformation from inactivity to torpitude.

In the early 1820's

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Brunswick, Maine -- Bowdoin College
