...whole exhibition offers an unusually comprehensive view of the work of this brilliant and erratic artist-writer on the side not generally so well known. Ruskin was primarily a writer, and he almost never attempted to make a real picture from the artist's point of view. His drawings in this collection, therefore, are in many cases mere studies, some very slight, mere notes with a pencil, some with bits of wash or color in places, others highly finished in wash or color though hardly any really complete...
...choice would seem to be undemocratic and tending to sectionalism, but the experience of those who have had most to do with alumni affairs has shown again and again that a Secretary of only ordinary attainments living in close proximity to Boston is a more valuable officer than a brilliant man who resides at a distance. Since the centralization of alumni interests it has become more than over important that the Secretary should be located where he is in constant and close touch with the office of the Alumni Association...
...final score 8 to 0 in Yale's favor. As had been expected, the game was essentially a kicking game in which Coy had the advantage over Minot, nor was either team able to score on "straight" football.

The game was hard-fought from beginning to end, Harvard excelling in the straight rushing, while Yale entirely offset this by excellent judgement and punting. O'Flaherty, the Harvard quarterback, did not appear to drive the team with the best of judgment; he was very...
...twenty yards on the average. Kilpatrick never failed to keep the runner inside of him, and his defence was of the best. Hobbs and Cooney were both very effective in the line, Hobbs blocking one of Minot's punts which resulted in the first score, Philbin, outside of one brilliant run of 40 yards after catching a punt, was not as spectacular as in the Princeton game a week ago. Howe ran his team well, tackled hard, and used excellent judgment...
...Harvard players Minot, Captain Fish, Corbett and Wigglesworth seemed to be the most brilliant. Minot's punting was very consistent, though the wind affected it somewhat during the first half his line plunging and defensive work was of a very high standard. Captain Fish was marvellous on the defence; he seemed to be all over the field making a great many tackles in the open. Corbett, by his runs outside of tackle, gained many yards. He ran hard dodged well, and was always following the ball. The two Withingtons, Fisher and McKay formed a line through which Yale made...
