...during the last half hour the game was too one-sided to be interesting. The cause of the defeat was quite evident. Our men had not been trained to play a hard game for an hour and a half and the tremendous efforts of the first part seemed to exhaust them. Princeton, on the contrary, has played a full game and more every day in practice, and consequently seemed to improve in strength and skill proportionately as our team weakened...
...present plan will revert to the former condition, and unless some efforts are put forward in all our higher institutions of learning, we may again see the professor and student living within themselves. Very recently some of the professors at Harvard were complaining that they are fast becoming exhausted by unintermitted intercourse with students." If such has been the effect on the professor of closer contact with the student, it is to be regretted; it certainly destroys the theory which demands that closer contact, for the basal principle of the theory is that the closer intercourse will strengthen, rather than...

He then chooses his topic, and works to exhaust it.

After taking on board as many guests as can be conveniently (sometimes inconveniently) accomodated, and giving them a short row, the boats ship oars, and form a float in the middle of the lake. There they exhaust their repertoire of songs, classical and otherwise, which the many unfavored ones on shore may enjoy. At starting and returning the classes back their crews by such cheering as would do no discredit to the "Rah, Rah, Rah" of Harvard men after a successful boat race...
