...course have found already that he did not exaggerate the state of the case. The work corresponds to that of an historian collecting the materials for volumes upon which his fame is to rest. The man who has this course may have two others upon which he must do hard work; then, by the regulation of the Faculty, he must take something else to fill up his time! This is a regulation that seems to me unnecessary. I do not propose that Seniors should have three courses instead of four required of them. Some number must be prescribed, and perhaps...
Both clubs had evidently determined to fight hard. The McGill men knew each other, played together, and passed the ball more than the All Canadas. The game was exciting in the extreme, both for the players and the lookers-on. The ball at the beginning was kept very close to McGill's goal, and was finally kicked behind, with a Canadian and L. Cushing after it. Cushing secured the ball, but it was decided that the other man touched it first and "deaded" it. This caused some dispute, but the play soon proceeded, the Canadians still acting on the defensive...
...this sentiment in regard to work I ascribe what truth there may be in the opinion which I have quoted. To say that the sentiment ought to be corrected would be a mere truism.

But in time the artificiality and unfitness for real life of most Harvard men will be discovered...
...horribly hard, I know, to learn how to manage your funds in the beginning. And I think that it is best to start off with a little mild extravagance in the form of subscriptions to the various athletic schemes which happen to be in favor. Pay your subscriptions at once, and everybody will know it. In future years, if you are called upon for anything of the sort, you are at liberty to reply that you have learned wisdom by experience, - which you have duly paid for. But in the beginning it pays to subscribe; you are at once reported...
...would be increased by a change. The steward's salary, together with his perquisites, amounts to quite a handsome sum. Last year a man could have been procured for the same remuneration, who had large experience in catering for hotels, and who could bring recommendations from Parker. In these hard times there would probably be no difficulty in finding a good professional caterer to fill the position on the same terms as at present. We could at least get a man whose acquaintance with the business had been formed elsewhere than in a corner grocery...
