...freshmen are the heaviest of the class crews. They do not get their legs into the stroke. There seems to be no life in the boat. They overreach badly. They do not keep a firm grip on their oars, and fail to get the benefit of the end of their stroke in consequence. Their time is bad. They are extremely careless and have had individual faults. The stroke which they have been practising is much too slow for a race. Mr. Hooper has been coaching the crew of late. Alexander, the stroke of the University boat, has also been giving...
...cultivate effeminate dispositions and weak bodies? We hold that the game of football is a manly, invigorating, and ennobling sport.

And, unless we are very much mistaken, our faculty will find great difficulty in getting President Dwight to own that playing with professionals is degrading to college sport. We believe that...
...Besides the internal evidence of the Bible, much information is given us by the recent Assyrian and Babylonian discoveries. Isaiah lived in that period of the Assyrian invasion of Palestine, and was a contemporary of four Assyrian kings. He lived at the court of Jerusalem during most of his life, filling the positions of court preacher, physician and counsellor. Isaiah was a determined opponent of all foreign alliances, and even when Sennacherib was besieging Jerusalem was, unwilling to call upon Egypt for assistance. He advised the people to put their trust in "Javeh," who would deliver them from their danger...
