...without duly charging them and uses them in his room? Whether he returns them eventually or not does not affect his case. He is liable not only to criminal indictment, as the notice in the library reads, but to the more serious condemnation of a community that will not allow its most fundamental principles to be trampled upon with impunity...
...Harvard team, which is composed so largely of inexperienced men. Yale has suffered somewhat by the loss, on account of illness, of DeWitt, a promising halfback. Before he was taken sick he was playing better than Armstrong ever has played, and far better then Armstrong's short season would allow this year. But Jerrems, who captained the freshman eleven last year, has developed strongly during the last two weeks and will undoubtedly play halfback.

And as one gets older he is apt to allow more for personal idiosyncrasy, and to have less certainly that the truth he has reached is not a one-sided one, and that there are not fifty others equally important, and (perhaps) equally unsatisfactory. Every bait is not for every fish. We begin by admitting the old Doctor's apothegm...
