If, beside opportunity, the college can furnish also the inspiration which shall make opportunity precious and fruitful, its work is accomplished. The college that fulfils these two conditions - opportunity and inspiration - will be a success, will draw to itself the frequency of youth, the patronage of wealth, the consensus...

Still there will always be room for one more, and, now that the lacrosse interests are on such a good footing, they should receive the attention of every possible candidate. The result next spring will depend almost entirely on the efficiency and steadiness of this winter's work in the gymnasium. In spite of the cramped quarters of the cage there are numerous points of the game which can be properly learned there alone, and these points - throwing and catching especially - are what will give our team their great...
