...held simply with the view of discovering how much truth there is in the articles which have recently been published, and also of discovering whether or not the tendency of the undergraduates in regard to the matter of attending recitations and chapel is in the right direction. The idea was suggested of making all recitations of the freshman year compulsory but this course was objected to on the ground that it would only delay the students entire freedom until the sophomore year, which would not remedy the supposed evil in the least...
...electors was explained and the history of the elections since the time of Washington were discussed at length.

This blind kind of playing was especially noticeable in the work of the right end. When a man got the ball he plunged along without any idea as to whether he was going through a hole in the rush line or into his opponent's arms. Neither of the half-backs got under the ball when it was kicked, but almost invariably waited for the bound, which is a wretchedly slow and uncertain way of playing...
