...canvass recently made among the 20 preparatory schools to learn just where the available athletic talent of those institutions would continue their scholastic work when they graduate next June, divulges the fact that Yale will profit materially in the matter of selection, as the New Haven university is scheduled to draw by far the larger share of the captains of the school teams...
...Among these are a copy made from the Tanner Manuscript of the Bodleian Library, probably the one from which Ferrar printed the original text in 1633, a copy made from the one in Williams Library, Gordon Square, London, which probably dates back to 1629, a copy from the Rawlinson Manuscript of the Bodleian Library, dating 1714, a note-book used by Professor Palmer in the preparation of his own edition, and various London editions of George Herbert's poems dating 1799, 1806, 1835, 1836, 1846, 1853, 1854, 1859, 1863, 1869, 1876, 1883, 1885, 1899 and 1904, and American editions...

It would be equally logical to deduce that since only one in thirteen of the public school men received honor grades in the Law School while one in six received them in College, therefore, public school men who had distinguished themselves...
...this standing. At the same time although we are glad to see that we were wrong as to figures, we cannot retract our words of condemnation of those Freshmen who will be needed next fall. For instance three men escaped probation only by getting two C's apiece; among seven men we find only six straight C's. This deplorable condition, it seems to us, warrants all that we have said to the class...
