...sound financial basis. Our students do not, it is true, step forward with any too much readiness to support the college papers, but when once the true nature of the case is put before them, we do not have to appeal in vain. Indifference holds them back, not a disregard for the success of our journalistic enterprises...
...although we had no word from Yale in answer to our letters. Friday morning a telegram came from New York from one of our own men, saying there was to be no game. The class had had a third meeting and decided not to play after all. With beautiful disregard they here dropped the matter. They were not accountable for our actions-what mattered it if we all did come down to New Haven? By a mere chance we were saved the useless trip; it was no fault of theirs, though.

'An intelligent man,' says Plato, 'will prize those studies which shall result in his soul getting soberness, righteousness and wisdom, and will disregard the rest.' I cannot consider that a bad description of the aim of education, and of the motives which should govern us in the choice of studies, whether we are preparing ourselves for a hereditary seat in the English House of Lords or for the pork trade in Chicago.
