...weakling and the coward are out of place in a strong and free community. In a republic like ours the governing class is composed of the strong men who take the trouble to do the work of government; and if you are too timid or too fastidious or too careless to do your part in this work, then you forfeit your right to be considered one of the governing and you become one of the governed instead--one of the driven cattle of the political arena.

Errors and bases on balls, however, added to Harvard's score...
...season by defeating the University of Vermont in a raggedly played game yesterday afternoon by a score of 9 to 4. Although the fielding of the team was crude, and the base-running at times stupid, on the whole the work accomplished was promising; for despite the many careless errors the men played with dash and determination...
