...Brown basketball team defeated the University team on Saturday evening by the score of 12 to 10 in a close game. In the first half the game was rather slow, but in the second half the play was fast and the result was in doubt until the end of the game. The Brown team was especially strong in defensive play, but was weak at throwing goals at critical times in the game. The passing of the University team was quick and accurate, but it was unable to break through its opponents' strong defense...
...Yale eleven played without doubt the best game it was capable of. Its fierce attack, thwarted again and again by a fiercer defense, was each time renewed with an increased intensity that made it finally irresistible.

If it is the outcome of love of truth it is good, but if it comes from a desire to shirk responsibility it is most ignoble. Men who want every question answered, every doubt cleared, lack the heroism God intended to be in life. In Christ's own time, there were men of this same temperament. He was questioned concerning authority. What was His attitude? The Temptation furnishes one answer. Christ would not avail himself of superhuman or supernatural power to attract attention. He used...
...brazen attempt at cleverness and could at best be a mere literary tour de force. "Vive la France" is fairly interesting, but is spoiled by touches of bombast and inexcusable printer's errors. Much superior is "The Invention," which is out of the ordinary and distinctly amusing. Without doubt the best story of the issue is "The Dream of Melik the Goatherd," which is a very pleasing turn of fancy...
