...proceeds of the interesting fund bequeathed by the late William S. Murphy of this city, which are sufficient to keep at Harvard constantly three young men of the name of Murphy. The money therefore accumulates; but it will not be lost, for sooner or later the Murphys will come forward. Their present apparent reluctance is probably due in about equal proportions to diffidence and to the limited amount of publicity which Mr. William S. Murphy's generous bequest has received.

Cornell's penalties were so heavy that they lost several touchdowns as a result. As a whole, however, the team's play was satisfactory and gives promise of becoming a strong aggregation later in the season...

Then why not adopt it? is the question in the minds of everyone when he has finished this book. And when we think of the vast sums that are spent each day in luxuries and pleasures and in building magnificent public buildings in insignificant towns, we wonder more than ever...
