Another gratifying circumstance in this connection is the doing away with summer practice and the putting off of all hard work until the beginning of the college year. This step makes football more of a sport and less of a business for the men and is especially desirable, since it is doubtful whether any real benefit was ever derived from summer practice. It also speaks well for the harmony of opinion which exists between the football management and the athletic committee and for the system of undergraduate representation in that body...
...varsity football squad began practice on Soldiers Field Monday afternoon, September 20. All of last year's eleven, excepting those who have graduated, were on hand the first day. In addition a large number of candidates most of whom have been more or less prominent on the class teams in the last year or two appeared.

An intensely Puritanical New England girl, left a rich widow, marries a French nobleman, chiefly for his title and later discovers that he is more or less of a blackguard. Some incidents of the Franco-Prussian war are woven into the plot in an interesting way, although there is no actual fighting. The characters are not as clearly drawn as some in her earlier works, being rather conventional, but the plot is carefully constructed, although the ending...
