...notes contain serious errors, due to haste or confusion of mind; more often still they omit the most important facts. There can be no doubt that facts can be learned far more thoroughly and accurately from printed than from spoken words. Criticism, comment, and explanation can, on the other hand be admirably conveyed in lectures, provided the hearer is already acquainted with the facts upon which the comment is based. In an elementary course, for instance, the lecturer rarely sets forth facts not easily obtainable in books; his explanation of these facts, may, however, be entirely original...
...this season Cornell has lost to Harvard and Princeton and won from Yale. The Princeton game was exceedingly close, Cornell being defeated only in the second extra period by the score of 1 to 0.

...true that men are perhaps more likely to do work under the immediate pressure of a test than to come back from their Sunday rest prepared for an examination; but, on the other hand, reading done under pressure at the end of the week is not calculated to bring very satisfactory results. There is nothing, of course, to prevent anyone from laying out his work to suit himself, but experience proves that the majority of undergraduates are incapable of spreading it out judiciously, and leave everything until the last minute. Such an irregular method of work in any line...
...basis of comparative scores, it is impossible to pick the winning team, for the evidence of such scores is contradictory. Thus Harvard defeated Cornell 5 to 0, and Cornell defeated Yale 3 to 1; and on the other hand, Princeton defeated Harvard 3 to 0, and Yale only 2 to 1 in a very close game...
