...rare power of winning the affection of men--making their loyal friends not only those with whom they daily associated, but also those whom they chanced to meet and who to them frequently remained almost unknown. The source of Dean Shaler's power of thus winning and holding men lay, I have always felt, in his bluff, great-hearted manliness, his humor, and his sympathy. He loved men and was in turn beloved. Like other men remarkably fertile in plans and suggestions, he found his judgments and conclusions often questioned--no man has been oftener disagreed with; but however much...

The Harvard speakers on the other hand, attempted a bolder attack, and seemed more mature in their delivery.

If our present debt were to be spread over ten years, it would at that rate, take twenty years or more before the Stadium was completed. Suppose that the interest...
GENEVA, N. Y., May 30.--The Harvard lacrosse team played its last game of the season here today with Hobart College, losing by the score of 6 to 5 in a fast and hard-fought game. The men were handicapped by their unfamiliarity with the rough ground. Their strength lay in the middle-field, but their attack near the goal failed to work together. Hobart's attack was aggressive...
