Smith, Cutcheon, and Jones will carry the burden of Crimson success in the 880-yard run. Jones, who was captain of the Exeter track team last year, has an excellent chance of beating Page, but the race for second place between Smith and Cutcheon of the yearlings, and Gibbs of Yale 1925 promises to be a close and thrilling battle...
What is planned is the creation of an ideal. The trustees of the Russell Sage Foundation, which has undertaken the enterprise, have appointed a committee of prominent New Yorkers who will give to the people within the next few years a definite plan; the burden of accomplishment is then shifted to the people themselves.

There must be well-grounded appreciation, and some effort to meet the author half-way, before anything lasting...

In the meantime, all other work, tests, reports, weekly quizzes, naturally suffers. The additional burden of daily work under such circumstances tends to spill the whole load...
