...Mother Advocate says, let us choose a vocation as soon as possible. Procrastination, moreover, will mean not only the loss of an early start up the ladder of success, but it will mean something worse: it will mean the loss of that tremendous stimulus of having a clear destination, a one, single aim. No matter whether the choice be butcher or baker, or candlestick-maker, it is good to determine as soon as possible upon a permanent or even upon a temporary purpose in life. The choice is not only a means; it is an end in itself. E. HOWELL...
...LeGore, admired for his skill and respected for his personal qualities, should no longer match himself against Harvard men. With warm admiration for the Yale authorities in athletics, some of us yet believe that the reform of an evil, provided the evil is not a crime, begins best after clear warning, and that the penalty is wisely applied first to those whose transgression is as conscious as it is unmistakable.

Whether these hopes of the future are ever fulfilled in their totality or not, our survey of the past and the present of Germany has, I trust, made it clear that the German people of today is not, as its enemies declare, a degenerate perversion of a former and nobler type. On the contrary, with all its defects and excrescences of temper, it is a splendid outgrowth of a century's training in the national application of those ideals which distinguished the classic period of German literature and philosophy: unconditional submission to duty, unremitting endeavor for intellectual advance, assiduous cultivation...
...University centre, making a poor pass that proved fatal. Soon after, however, Willcox intercepted a long pass of Blair's and ran 70 yards for a touchdown, a feat equalled after a few more plays by Lyman, who snatched up a second team fumble and raced down a clear field for a score. These two touchdown's, together with another which followed when Soucy gathered in a pretty forward pass, would seem to indicate that the University men had much the better of the argument, but an analysis of the play showed that little ground was gained through the black...
