...This is more than most critics of the college have done; and the result is that his conclusions differ from most of theirs. He says that "the consensus of opinion and the weight of evidence show that, as a rule the college man goes the non-college man one better...
...reasons? In the first place, Mr. Draper believes that no man can lead a business without clear and "workable ideas;" and that "the harnessing of the imagination" can best be learned in college, for in college "he who knows but cannot express what he knows is no better off than as if he did not know at all."

Amherst was also in poor form. The team played a three-man defense all the time, and were it not for their goal the score would have been much larger. Many substitutes were sent in for the University, but they were not better than those who started, Claflin and Hopkins were not in the game at all, Cunning, ham and S. P.

...Freshmen closed their week's work in securing contributions for the new gymnasium with a total of $3666. This is $425 better than the former record of $3241 held by the Sophomores. During the past week, the collectors succeeded in reaching 45 per cent. of the class, practically all of whom contributed something. An effort will be made to reach the remaining 55 per cent. after Christmas. The standing of the first ten collectors is as follows: C. P. Stewart, $363; S. J. Y. Mann, $302; D. Campbell, $295; H. G. Reynolds, $264; J. Hubbell, $244; S. Poor...
