...evil side of college life-however slight it may be-is much more quickly reported to the world than the positively good side. Making due allowance for this consideration how great are the influences in college life for good, and from evil? An intellectual education alone will not keep men from evil doing. The mere knowledge of iniquity will not be strong enough to keep a man from it. There are then, laying aside this purely intellectual consideration, two chief ways in which the moral strength of college life may be increased: first, by strengthening the impulses towards good...
...dishonorable enough to disregard those rules, after having offered themselves as candidates for teams. What is more trouble some is the fact that the friends of such men are willing to stand by, and even to join them in doing things which are prohibited, and then feel bound to keep the matter from the knowledge of the captain or coach.

...Porter's Station and back. They also go through some calisthenics every day. Exactly what they are trying to do on the rowing weights it is hard to say-a lively jerk at the beginning of the stroke seems essential. Of course it is absolutely necessary to keep the back straight and keep up a strong feeling of expectancy. Tallant and Hale are promising new men for the crew but they have much to learn in the way of rowing. Fitzhugh, Blanchard and Bass are also new candidates. The first two are now rowing on the 'varsity but are clumsy...
