...memory as a means instead of an end is a faculty--that is rarely used to qualify the accuracy of a person's memory per se. We are wont to esteem highly and without discrimination those whose powers of recollection are well nigh faultless, and yet of what merit is the mind that can only imitate and plagiarize? To store up mere facts and uncorrelated details is worse than useless. The natural limits of mental capacity are soon over-run, and there is no room to cultivate original thought and imagination. A machine's efficiency is determined by the ratio...
...formations, and each of its four touchdowns resulted from a steady march down the field. Brown's heralded offence was unable to gain consistently through the strong Colgate line, and the latter's goal line was little threatened throughout the game. Anderson, who played quarterback for the winners, showed faultless generalship, and the heavy trio of Colgate backs executed their difficult trick formations with impressive team-work. The victory, which came as a complete surprise to most followers of the game, gives Yale a chance to claim the Eastern title, since the Blue defeated Colgate earlier in the season...

...quality of this brief anthology is surprisingly fine: surprisingly, though one had been prepared, by Mr. Noyes and others, to find it good, and unusually good. The technique is not everywhere faultless; but in what poet, save the very greatest, does one find it so? Ask the scholars. The point of view is prevailingly the point of view of youth; but it is not anywhere naif, or impertinent, or pseudo-cynical. The literary vices of youth are miraculously absent. The tone is curiously sustained, too, without monotony; as if the contributors had been real collaborators, such brothers-in-blood...
...Lincoln and Some Phases of the Civil War" was the subject of the oration of James Ford Rhodes at the literary exercises of the Harvard Chapter of Phi Beta Kappa in Sanders Theatre yesterday morning. Mr. Rhodes prefaced his specific comments by saying that Lincoln was not as faultless as he seems to some of us, but that one need not hesitate to point out his short-comings, knowing that his virtues will swing the balance far in his favor...
