...thesis and an examination are often due almost simultaneously in the same course, and this it seems to us is distinctly rushing college work. It is the purpose of the examination to test the student's ability, to find out how well his college work has been done thus far. Unfortunately for the fairness of the test, however, the student has been forced in the month just passed to devote much of his time to the production of the thesis.

If, then, athletics are for the students rather than for the world, it seems but fair that the students should...
...Valentine gained three yards. Hutchinson broke through and tackled Hulme, but Valentine in turn wriggled his way through Harvard's center and gained fifteen yards. Harvard began playing much more sharply. Thayer fumbled and Harvard got the ball. Lee made another fine run and Stickney took the ball far up the field by a brilliant rush. Lee fumbled but Harvard kept the ball. Saxe and Lee got ten yards between them, and five yards more were given for interference. Lee forced his way through the crowd for a slight gain, and then was given the ball and made...
