...composition and a thorough general culture in the best sense of the term. Specialization in art, music or some other branch of culture with a view to being a critic in this branch is not desirable; on the other hand, what is essential is a love for writing, a keen imagination and enthusiasm...
...team will lose only two men by graduation this spring: C. Almy, Jr., '08 and O. A. Wyman '08; but it will have this year's strong Freshman team to draw from, so that the number of available men will make keen competition. The problem will be to find a centre. At present the alternative possibilities for the position are Browne, whom it may be found necessary to shift from guard to centre, and Wellmann of this year's Freshman team who, with more experience, will prove a valuable man.

From the standpoint of undergraduates, more-over, the passing of superfluous secret practice will be a cause for much satisfaction. Many men who can spare the time are glad to show their interest in the team by making frequent trips to Soldiers Field, and, if this habit is formed early in the season, the excitement which always accompanies a Yale game, although no less intense...
