...rushers have not been called out as yet, but if signs are true there promises to be abundance of material. The number of candidates should not deter any one from trying, however, for in a month's practice the choice of players will be very difficult, and often certain points in a new player will turn the decision in his favor.

Nor is the use of our autobiographies limited to our own race; the Triennial Catalogue, Lives of Harvard Graduates, and other publications must draw their matter largely from these pages. Sometimes a false modesty may deter a man from answering the questions asked him, but this is quite unreasonable; none of the questions are strictly personal in their nature, but inquire about facts known already to many persons, and that it would be simply pride or priggishness to attempt to conceal. Let us hope, then, that the Class...
