...draw a disciplinary line in athletics. In other words the Faculty will say the soul may go to perdition but the body will be kept healthy by law. After all such a position is not inconsistent. Compulsory attendance at chapel does not make a man devout, but a certain number of hours on the football or baseball field, in the shells on the river, or in winter at gymnasium exercises will make a man healthy...
...culminating in their boat race. We felt justified in doing so, as the Weld cres are virtually second class crews and the money had been subscribed for class and for crew purposes. After paying them $134.73 there now remains $264.25 in the '98 crew treasury. Of this money a certain amount will have to be spent to meet unexpected expenses.

It had been my intention to hand it over to the class treasurer together with the crew accounts, but I have been recently asked to give it to the Weld...

In the face of such inertia it can be understood how hard it is for men to keep up energetic practice, and how it often happens that the practice does...
...White '99, in opening for Harvard, disclaimed any intention to argue against all immigration. The present laws, he said, are inadequate in that they do not exclude those whom they aim to exclude, and because they contain no provision for the exclusion of certain other undesirable immigrants. In the laws as they stand there is practically nothing to prevent idiots, insane persons, paupers and criminals from coming to this country by way of Canada. But even if these could be excluded, there are reasons why further restrictions should be imposed. In the first place, while the supply of public lands...
