...must look to soundness of the body primarily. The student cannot neglect his body except at the expense of his mind; hence the necessity of laying down strict rules to keep the body healthy. Correct habits of eating, of sleeping and of cleanliness should be aimed at is an even development physically, not large muscles, but sound respiration, erect and easy carriage, evenly strong limbs, back and arms. Such a symetrical development of the muscular nature gives an even, placid, firm mental temperament. Then, too the vigorous body is the natural body-less liable to abnormal cravings and appetites; therefore...
...doubtless been more of an obligation than a privilege. They hear the Chapel bell with a consciousness that it rather invites than summons them, and for a moment they hesitate in the exercise of their duty. They forget, perhaps, that the obligation to attend religious service is now even stronger than before, that what once seemed a matter of routine is now a matter of conscience. But this must not be.

At no point in the game did the home team show the slightest energy. In the Yale game on Thursday, Harvard will not have the slightest chance if she plays a game anything similar to that of yesterday. The men on the coaching lines...
...that can possibly be got together at Harvard. Neither time, practice nor energy has been spared in the effort. In the face of many serious difficulties, Captain Herrick has made a crew of which it may safely be said that they will row a strong race-a crew which even Yale's veterans will have a hard struggle to defeat. If energy and conscientious work count for anything, surely our crew deserves a victory...
