...intellect, but through the patronage of Harvard athletes. The object of college training is not to turn out Kilrains and Sullivans, but to sharpen the intellect and broaden the man. There was a day when the plumes of the knight adorned the cap that crowned the strongest knots of brawn, but that was an age coeval with bull-fights and duels. No person with refined sensibilities can look upon a modern game of foot-ball, with all its cruelly, and feel that it is in keeping with our civilization...
...from the estate of Mrs. Pastora B. Humphrey is to found the Henry B. Humphrey Fund, the income to be used for Scholarships. Subscriptions amounting to $3,063 have been received through Henry M. Spelman to found the George William Sawin Fund. $10,000 from the estate of William Brawn Spooner is an unrestricted bequest to the Divinity School. Subscriptions paid to Aug. 1st, '91, towards a fund to be called the Joseph Lovering Fund for Physical Research, in recognition of Prof. Lovering's life-long devotion to Physical Science, amounted to $7,720. The income is to be spent...

But, while you so generously insist on giving so much credit to the 'Cook Stroke,' let me remind you that the most scientific principles would have gone for nothing without the skill and brawn, the splendid discipline and the unswerving confidence of the men in the value of these principles...
...team is lacking. The Princeton team of a year ago were so trained in passing, and especially passing when tackled that six men would assist in making one rush, before the ball was finally declared down. What our team needs to do is not to make a collection of brawn and muscle, of future blacksmiths and stone-crackers, but to cultivate the style and science of real foot-ball. We believe Mr. Brooks will work foot-ball for all it is worth, and that he will teach the team all he knows or can learn; but the style of Harvard...
