...Garcelon spoke of his personal interest in lacrosse and of its great value as a sport in which any style or build of athlete can win success. As a minor sport, lacrosse has developed amazingly during the last few years, and the result of last season's games in the eyes of the Athletic Association fully atones for and justifies the deficit of $2000 caused by the sport...

In the fiscal year 1910-11 we paid for the support of our army and navy over 43.3 percent, of our total expenditures, and 24.1 per cent, more for pensions, the burden of past wars--a total of over 440 million dollars--enough to build two hundred Widener libraries.

The United States would perform a higher mission than every before were she to set the example here...
