...taken as an approval of the conduct of the Yale men at that game so generally condemned by the press: "We have a word of thanks for the way in which some members of the college used their voices yesterday to bring victory out of what seemed an almost sure defeat-but why wait so long. The game cannot always be won in the last half as it was yesterday. Let the cheering be strong and hearty from the start, and with the nine that we have we need not expect again to see them so far behind...
...tends more or less directly towards aiding one in his life's work, whatever that may be. Hebrew is just as practical to a student of theology as a knowledge of the use of tools is to a carpenter's apprentice. What is practical to one man is almost useless to another.

...years past,-how to teach modern languages in classes so that they may become real and live to the students. The scheme is to educate the ear as well as the eye by assiduous practice, so that the languages can be spoken as well as read, and it is almost useless for us to add that this method is the only thoroughly satisfactory one. English, for the time being, is left behind entirely, and all conversation is carried on maforeign tongue. Such a school, of course, could only result in giving the student a practical knowledge of the language...
