...that as the winter months set in all athletics must degenerate into the routine of gymnasium work. During the fall we have looked forward to each Saturday afternoon as the event of the week, but now the foot-ball interest is gone there is nothing which we can anticipate except the winter meetings still far distant. Cannot some enterprising or imaginative student discover some excitement in the gymnasium or elsewhere which can take regularly on Saturday afternoons? It would be more useful than the literary productions which are published in the college papers, and would not require half the creative...
...under its author's name in alphabetical order, his collective works, and then his single works. The different editions of his works are mentioned chronologically, and all their translations also.

The proper place, it seems to me, to start the sentiment...
...Ordinary people saw a magnificent exhibition of cultivated strength and beautiful daring, with very few and very slight casualities, except in a single instance; they saw a dash and courage and enthusiasm that made one think better of the mortal part of human nature; and in the end a group of eager, flushed, panting young men, exhausted somewhat, of course, with such tremendous physical effort, but bright of eye, clear of voice, and as fine to look upon, in spite of awkward garb, as any heroic figures of triumphant Greek athletes...
