This is an episode all about institutionalized bullying: from the halls of Eton and Rugby, as fictionalized in a transatlantic hit of a novel; to the fields of Harvard and Dartmouth, as materialized in the genocide of innumerable people and cultures.

In Part 4, we track the continued evolution of ball games in the places that the English were creatively calling "New England," including the sports that the French were creatively calling "Curved Stick." All the while, the settlers marvel at the suspicious happiness of the "uncivilized" people of these new lands, who engage in such incomprehensible behaviour as "sharing resources" and "drinking water."
