...Copeland's remarks were the more interesting as he spoke from a considerable personal experience; and his lecture threw light on a subject the understanding of which, with most college men, is probably far from clear. Of journalism he spoke chiefly as it qualifies men to become Bohemians, or perhaps rather as it attracts those in whom the Bohemian instinct is strong; but this was merely incidental to his more important description of Bohemia and the Bohemians. The Bohemia with which he was dealing is not the country known to geography, but is "a condition rather than a place"; while...
...certain tests of quickness which are now being made by Dr. Fitz at the Physiological Laboratory. It may not appear at first thought that these tests have anything about them which is connected with education, physical or mental. Yet they are being made with a view to making clear the relation of physical training to the development of quick and accurate motions and of well balanced bodies. The idea is to find out by comparison what sorts of exercise demand as a pre-requisite the most accurate mental aim and the quickest motor response and also what sorts of exercise...

The book is not wholly pessimistic, for it sees the blue sky beyond. It is not wholly optimistic for it also sees the desolation. It is a book of progress and hope. It says the world...
...greater need of a glorious victory than just at this time. The Yale game pulled down the spirit of the students to a point which it has seldom reached and had Pennsylvania beaten us it is hard to tell what might have happened. Within a week we have gone clear to the depths of misery and now a plucky set of men have brought us up again to something above our normal spirit and have saved us from a disaster which would have had its effect on the good name of the University. Every man on the field yesterday must...
