In the freedom of college-life differences between individuals in respect to ambition, strength of will, physical and mental alertness, and habits created by luxury on the one hand, or poverty on the other, produce much greater effect than they do among boys who are under constant observation and pressure at school...
...Unfortunately our best athletes in these particular events have graduated, so that for the mile run, the broad and pole jump and the shot and hammer, we have, at present, no one as good as last year.

Besides, what is more important, they voted to supply a sufficient salary if the suitable person is found. Ever since James Robinson was sent away we have sadly lacked a trainer and constant requests have been made for one. But the corporation refused to vote a salary for such an office and stated that they had "no money." Where the money has now come from is not stated ? But let us be thankful for what we have received, however late it comes...
