Of course, men may become great without any such preliminary course of education, as our history shows, but it will be in spite of such a lack and not because of it.

The play of our team in Saturday's game assures a hard fight, and the experience of that game will prove valuable. There should be no lack of energy on the part of the team nor encouragement on the part of the college...
