...same as that of the last day of the world. The trouble is that people try to judge themselves and past generations by the standards which they have made for themselves, and which are, accordingly, sure to be misleading. It is not difficult for a man to find fault with the deeds of his ancestors and to blame them, on the ground that every evil thought and action had transmitted its effect to him. But it does not so often happen that this man realizes how careful he should be himself to try to counteract the evil influence...

He does not pretend to answer all of President Warren's arguments; he devotes himself mainly to the point of the alleged easy requirements for admission to Harvard.

Nothing but good has come from the Yale game, and Harvard...

But while Princeton's line is somewhat out of balance, this is probably the only weakness that Yale will find in it; and when it comes to aggressive work the Princeton eleven is apt to surprise Yale. Little is known of Princeton's team play, but we have seen that Yale's is at times really remarkable. Such work kept up throughout a game would be well nigh invincible. But the Yale team did not keep it up last...
