...game with Harvard on Saturday finished one of the most successful seasons in the history of football at Yale. Starting the year with only six members of last year's team and no promising material in the freshman class, the team, by dint of much work and daily scrimmages, gradually developed a form which culminated in the Princeton and Harvard games. The team was one of the most powerful that has ever been produced at Yale, but seemed to lack finish. The line was stronger than the backfield and compared favorably with any line of previous years.

The men put a good deal of spirit into the work but the playing on both sides was very loose. By dint of hard work the first eleven succeeded in scoring twice.

...only acquired by trigonometrical exactness in establishing the position and measuring the relations of isolated points. Moreover, what a man has just learned is not to be called knowledge. It continues for a good while yet a foreign substance in the mind and becomes a pearl only by dint of that fretting which proves its alienate, and which compels us to coat it with the substance of our own life and thought and so to assimilate it with ourselves. Wordsworth said that "Poetry was violent emotion remembered in tranquility," that is, when it was no longer the motive...
