...effort to get an expression of undergraduate opinion, to which Mr. Wrightington alludes, was made two years ago. Three means were then employed: personal conversation and correspondence with a large number of college men; the assignment of the University Club as a topic for themes in English course, and a blue-book canvass. The result was an overwhelming expression of thoughtful student opinion in favor of the project. Nearly twelve hundred signed the blue-books at once. There was some thoughtful opinion against the plan, based chiefly on the question of practicability, but without ignoring the very small minority...

Upper-class men have been appointed to canvass special sections of the class thoroughly in order to bring out as much material as possible. The object is, as in the Weld Boat Club, to establish...
...game. He tackled fiercely and ran well with the ball. Wadsworth made the sensational play of the day by scoring a touchdown from the 45-yard line on a long pass from Farley. Dibblee made an attempt at tackling him on the 20-yard line, but his effort was fruitless, and from that point on there was no opposition to the play. Graydon, on the second, played a strong game and stopped plays around his end every effectually...
