...treasures of Greek literature and letting them judge for themselves as to its merits. Such a manner of presenting the case gives an impression, not only of their own confidence in the strength of their cause, but of the real power of the cause itself.

The same principle applies, as well, to base ball and football. The Yale games are always watched with...
