...management of the intercollegiate games next spring, its merit lies in its departure from the custom of recent years, when the manager was chosen chiefly with reference to the amount of money collected. Possibly subscriptions are necessary for Freshman teams, but it has long been felt that they should be abolished as regards University athletics. With this move of the track management the crew will be the only one of the major teams left which derives its support in this way; and although we feel that the system should not be continued, the crew certainly has more claim upon...
...always commanded respect for himself and his road by consideration and kindness for all those with whom he came in contact. In the capacity of officer of a bank in Lincoln, Nebraska, he spent $1,100,000 of his private wealth to prevent its failure, solely because he felt the bank should be saved for the sake of the country.

He was a doer of things that make the heart glad, and the number of his kindnesses is known only to the many whom he has helped in word and deed. He felt happy in doing many things, for his loyalty of service had no taint of partiality; nor did he ever complain (as many of us do) that too many things made demand upon his precious time. He accepted any increase of his large responsibility with such cheerfulness that it became...
