...seem to be learning how to handle the ball. On the other hand, the throwing, especially after fumbles is apt to be very wild. S. W. Lewis 1900, H. Foster '98, and A.

Wrightington entitled "Fair Harvard," dealing with the life of a poor student in a Western college. It is more cleverly handled than is usual with sketches of the kind and deserves great praise...
