...figure of the man whose dying legacy to posterity included nothing which will last as long or be known as widely as his name is one of the least distinct of those which stand out in our colonial history. Almost all that we known of him is that in a time when the attention of most men was centred on the material things of life he saw the coming need of educated men who should be ready to replace the then leaders of the people, and for the satisfaction of that need he gave his money and his books--small...
...many forms of entertainment, mostly lectures, which are offered each year under the auspices of the University, this series of concerts is almost the only one which is open only to members of the University. If they were open to the public it can hardly be doubted that the attendance would be chiefly of the people outside the University community, as indeed is the case with the Symphony concerts in Sanders Theatre.

In each game it has shown a consistent improvement in spite of the fact that in almost every instance some of the regulars were not in the line-up. The development has been somewhat slow, for Coach Haughton has used the same methods and tactics which he employed a year ago. In the early games, which the University team had practically no difficulty in winning, the new material was given a try-out. It was not until...
