Work for the University track team will begin today on the board track on Holmes Field back of the new Law School building. As the Boston Athletic Association meet comes on February 1 this winter, two weeks earlier than in former years, leaving less than a month for the training after the Christmas recess, all new and old men, and especially candidates for the middle and long distance runs, are expected to begin light work today. Following is a list of men who are especially urged to begin systematic work immediately, as from their number the nucleus of the University...
...training of the men who ought to win second and third places. There are several men from last year's Freshman team, who should obtain results this year, but the men from Yale's 1910 team are by no means to be over-looked.

Because often wishing is not changed into willing there result so many broken vows and half-carried-out resolutions. Our vows are not serious enough...
...power of triumphing over obstacles and difficulties that are constantly increasing. To the crowd it seems that things must ever remain as they are; it is the part of the leader to see things as they ought to be. The fear of change makes the ordinary man draw back-the fear of being thought eccentric, or of being thrust into obscurity by the crowd. It is the Christian watchword that responsibility rests on the individual. Wills have been given us-let us use them. Fate, heredity, chance,-these do not affect the freedom of the will. It is a ship...
