...question which he, with or without the aid of the office, must be left to decide; but cutting leads to one practice which needs to be discouraged. We refer to that of attending lectures by proxy, of being marked present when in reality absent. The point of honor involved in this intentional deception is sufficiently obvious; but in the College today it seems to escape the attention of many who pass in the eyes of themselves and of their fellows for strictly honorable men. More than this, there are men whose characters command respect, who are yet not ready...
...suicide the woes which others have suffered, you base his consent to try again on manliness and pride, and he is easily moved to begin again. When we accept the pleasures of a life which is based on the sacrifice of the lower animals it involves the point of honor and demands of us unselfishness.

It is certain that he was defeated six times by other poets...
...usual, is in exaggeration of the truth. This, however, is from the point. We do not wish to urge attendance at the games as we might, on the grounds that the merits of the players have been misrepresented. What we wish is to insist on the point of honor which it should be with students to give wholehearted encouragement to the team not at the time when they need it least, but when they need it most. The neglect to buy a season ticket implies the intention to attend few games, and such intention this year is wholly unpardonable...
