...hypothesis of the survival (as Germany puts it) of the strongest, and the supposed suggestion in his doctrine that the breeding of fierce soldiers is the key to national preeminence in the world's affairs. But just as both parties in the world war can, if they like, claim that Nietzsche is on their side--hater of Prussians and of all Prussianism as he certainly was, yet author of the "superman" theory--so the Darwinians may point out that, according to Darwin, it is the fittest, and not necessarily the strongest physically or materially, that survives, and fitness may reside...

Seward, a man of great experience in coastwise navigation, laid out a course of instruction...
...goals were scored by the University, as compared with a total of ten scored by her opponents, and in five games no rival seven made a goal. The University team also defeated the Dartmouth team, which beat both Princeton and Yale. This alone entitles it to an excellent claim to the championship. In the rating of the college teams all these things were considered...
