...waves--of verse, stories, and the occasional essay. If the old Advocate was a bit ponderous, the new Advocate--is it my years?--seems to me not quite heavy enough. But when I come to examine the component parts of this issue, there are really no serious faults to find--no faults, I am sure, of which the editors themselves are not perfectly well aware. The editorial on the after-glow of the Yale game is wholly to the point. It might, to be sure, have been a generous touch to add to the refreshing though that the dogma...
...schoolmate as a bed-fellow, who is suffering from the effects of the same hilarity. The wife of the bourgeois enters, newspaper in hand, and reads about the gruesome murder of a coal-heaver's daughter which has been committed in the rue de Lourcine. The two listeners find coal upon their hands, and all the evidence points to their having committed the crime during hours of which they remember nothing. Panic-stricken, they proceed to drown their fear in curacoa, which proves very effective. They attempt to murder all the inmates of the house and thus destroy all evidence...
...distinction as a teacher rested on his many-sided scholarship; on his power to transmute whatever he taught into terms of a common humanity; and on his eagerness to find moral beauty in all excellence.

He inculcated the virtue of reverence. He awakened and developed ideals in his pupils, he did not impose them from without...
...interesting relics of Harvard's early victories, contains hardly anything won in late years, though we have repeatedly beaten all our rivals in baseball, and have many Dartmouth, Brown and Carlisle footballs. Yet in the last five years only one cup and one banner have been added. Furthermore, we find that eight football trophies--among them that of our 1890 victory over Yale, the tarnished Ardsley Golf Cup, and several banners, including that won by the 1899 crew at New London--are hidden away in a dusty corner of the Gymnasium. These should surely be moved to the Union...
...Harvard team in our memory has started the season with a squad of as little real football experience as this one. It is by no means unique to have a Harvard captain on the side lines, such being the case in 1894 and 1905. It is unparalleled, however, to find a team, deprived of its captain, who at the time was the mainstay of the line as well as the life and spirit of the team, wheel about, and accepting their handicap with superb determination and confidence, meet each team as it came to the Stadium and send them back...
