...significant struggle for a great end, but a contemptible conflict with foes that have no worth. If one dwells upon the capriciousness of fortune and of the human Will, one finds that paradox of life, which was at the centre of Schopenhauer's pessimistic argument. And one must frankly admit the impossibility, from the finite point of view, of any rational insight into the concrete meaning of the world of this blind caprice. Only here it is that the postulate of Idealism triumphs, after all, as fortunate, over the obscurity of the facts. The Christian conception of the Logos...
...have read the arguments of the majority. We admit that the average age of Harvard freshmen is too great, and that men are now unable to get through a professional education until too late in life. We admit that all this is true, but we see no necessity for the change proposed. If men are now able to get better preparation before they enter college than formerly, this is so much gained toward education, and is not a reason for compelling all men to hurry through their college course...
...week to see men at work in good numbers for the crews, the base ball, and the Mott Haven teams. The crew especially needs all the help and attention that can be given to it.

...have thought that we had it mastered, and each time Yale has sent us back to Cambridge to study it some more. But we have stuck to the task with a dogged perseverance, and the 15,000 people who saw Harvard defeat Yale at Hampden Park Saturday, must admit that we have now learned the game thoroughly. Harvard met the strongest team Yale ever put in the field, and fairly outplayed it. It was a hard fought game from beginning to end. Nothing more admirable has ever been seen on the football field, than the desperate rally of the Yale...
...watched with unusual interest. The Wesleyan games have always been hard fought and well worth seeing. We have heard a few men complain that the football management is overstepping its bounds in charging extra for reserved seats, but if the foregoing facts are kept in mind, every one will admit that this is only just. Moreover there has been no football subacription this year, and the eleven is incurring usual expenses, so that funds must be raised somehow. We see no better way to get money than by this method, and everyone ought to do this little for the good...
