Despite the hard game Saturday, the men were all in good condition. H. L. Sweetser '17 and G. C. Caner '17, both of whom have been given a rest during the last week, were dressed for practice yesterday afternoon, and were run through signals with the other members of the squad. Thacher, Flower, Taylor, Lovell and Snow were all given a day off, but are expected to be back in the line-up before the end of the week...

It is well written but it has its value only as a counsel of perfection for those who have a strong purpose which enables them to over-ride all such trivialities as planning and forethought. It is also good for those who think that without genius they may, through system, reach the stars. But for the humdrum it is dangerous. The editorial on football says nothing new but it is gaily written in a style which precludes all serious influence, and which we are accustomed to expect...
