...this training distorts the whole view of physical exercise. Then again our athletic contests are carried on with so much noise, with so much cheering and shouting, that quiet, unassuming exercise in the gymsaium, which gets no applause, no reward of victory over an opponent, suffers very much by contrast. Special lines of athletics have largely taken the place of general exercise to the extent that the ordinary student rather laughs at light gymnastics. Yet this view of the matter is illogical and absurd. In an educational institution the body should be trained as much as the brain and much...
Then the Italians were lovers of beauty. Here they stand in strong contrast to other races of artists, the French for example, who have been said to be "beauty blind,"- that is, they prefer making a picture great by their method of expression, to painting only a reproduction of a scene beautiful in itself...

Her work was perfectly straightforward football and her whole attitude was honorable and sportsmanlike. The cheering on both sides of the field was an interesting contrast to that of Saturday. Everybody must have felt a new feelling of affection for the University and a new confidence in Harvard's ability to win, as the ball was taken repeatedly down the field by the same sort of sharp, determined play with which Yale beat us Saturday...
...good a "Harvard Type" as the Advocate has yet introduced; and the "Law Breaker," which follows, contains some uncommonly vivid word painting. Its author, Philip Richards, gives an excellent description of the novel feelings which the hero experiences on his first introduction to a gambling hell. In marked contrast are "Merely Players," and "Applied Science," the articles already indefinitely referred to as lacking in originality...
