...apparent that next year's captain will have a difficult precedent to follow, but his work has been characterized by pains-taking assiduity--not only that, it is common talk that his assistance played a material part in the success of other members of the team. On his own part, from failing to place in the dual shot-put a year ago, he has become the intercollegiate champion and all but record-holder.

It taught the earth that the American flag is not just a piece of bunting which can be bought at any time for a song, but that it is the emblem of dignity and power of a great Republic, which can never be insulted but millions will spring to its defence...
