...Casey wrote Horween last September, saying: "You'll be welcome anytime." The answer will be had when a final estimate of Harvard's performance today is available. It may take a lot of valiant battling to tame that Bulldog, but it seems to be that Harvard is ready to expend that energy...

The men who choose these roads to the modern languages are supposed to spend five hours a week in attending the stated meetings of their class; presumably, a serious student would expend two hours a night besides, in preparing of the recitations and in doing the reading; an exceptionally hard worker might devote three hours five times a week to the study of his French or German.
