...students are perpetually being experimented on to find the best, and some teachers, partly by their personality, will succeed where others will fail. Still the method of instruction in some of our schools is woefully poor and it can be improved, though with difficulty fixed, for each year will bring a new improvement. The amount of time given to a study is another question which calls for discussion. It is certain that some studies receive more than is necessary, often with a corresponding insufficiency given other studies; but to a certain extent this question hangs upon the first. For, while...

It is observable, moreover, that where there are secret fraternities in colleges, the undergraduates are generally young and immature and lack broad and sober view of college life which bring among other things, an antipathy for secret societies.

...other hand, Harvard had only a new guard and a centre to find for her line, while Yale had to find two new guards and an end; behind the line Harvard has had to develop a new quarter-back, half, and full-back, and Yale has had to bring out men for just the same positions, and it is a curious fact that in order to fill the quarter-back's position the full-backs of last year are the quarter-backs of this, and both are the captains of their teams. It is true that both elevens have been...
