...feels in duty bound to attend, partly out of patriotic motives, and partly on account of the great risk and expense incurred in coming east." Think of the patriotic westerner debating with himself as to which one of the four hundred and fifty-six "monohippic" colleges he shall honor with his presence! What peculiar risk there is in going to Cornell we are at a loss to discover, unless, indeed, it is the Ithaca mud which the Era is constantly complaining...
...examples prove anything to his purpose. Of the worthlessness of student opinion as to the character and abilities of a fellow-student we are all aware.

So much for the proposal. Without meaning to be taken seriously, the World has suggested something that might suit the inclinations of our athletic men. Such expeditions have repeatedly been made by Russian...
