...examination of the facts of history as a basis for all economical reasoning He thought that speculation which had only few facts as foundation could not but be mistakeable, and that a wider and deeper knowledge of facts was the one thing needed to set our reasoning aright. Facts are not everything, but they are a great deal, and without them a student has no material with which to do his mental building. It is to the credit of Harvard that she was first among the universities to recognize this double aspect of economical study, and to provide for both...

...athletic interests; and both for that reason and for the fact that such close ties bind Harvard and Exeter together, we feel that, in urging Exeter to join the association, we are representing a very general feeling among the undergraduates here.

...understand the regulations of the faculty aright the briefs in English C and D are due two weeks before the forensics, that is on November sixth. Now, however, we are informed that they must be handed in today. The requirement would not seem so severe perhaps, if the forensic pamphlet had been in the hands of the students at the beginning of the college year; but under the circumstances it does seem a little hard that men should be forced to prepare briefs within a week from the time they receive the list of subjects, particularly as the conscientious preparation...
