...sanctity of suffering: we feel the weight of the mysteries of this life, and we are made ready for high thoughts. For the office of the Gothic drama is not to give us merely the chiseled image of some heroic man agitated by one mighty passion, but rather to display the forces that are struggling in all men; to overawe us with the ghost of our own past and our own future, so that we may truly say: The world is passing in review...

Any man who has learned to display determination on the foot ball field, is very certain to show it in any work of life be may afterward enter. The Duke of Wellington declared that all his great victories had been decided long before on the foot ball fields of England. Moreover, a few bruises cannot offset the advantages of that training whose great aim is to develope coolness...
