With this lack of humor and understanding, Eton and Harrow are endeavoring to lend a democratic flavor to what have always been gentlemen's schools. But far more to the point than these superficial concessions to practicality is Highgate's provision of new workshops, where boys can build usable machinery with their own hands and lie on their backs in overalls beneath Austins in the making. This is the sort of healthy handicraft that really balances intellectuality, as the Hill School hobby-shop in America has effectively shown.

Considerable time was spent on fundamentals under Coach Nelson. In the latter part of the scrimmage the Scrubs, although somewhat hampered by lack of knowledge, attempted to put on a number of Texas plays, chiefly forwards, double passes, and hidden ball plays...

I do not like to see either you or President Lowell practice intellectual acrobatics, or, what is worse, fall back on a safe, selfish administrative policy in order to escape a necessary, though unpleasant, task...
