Then, with the hand of force behind the student body we will be marched into a place...
...fencing, even if those benefits are hampered by poor equipment, limited space, and miserable ventilation. Far more fortunate are those who take their exercise in football, baseball, soccer, track, and lacrosse, but these sports are played on Soldiers' Field and Soldier's Field is a memorial to the fallen dead of the Civil...
