His verse suggests Kipling, who has, above all writers of our time, caught the fancy of young poets...
...Garcelon was the first speaker, and he emphasized the importance of track athletics. In no other sport is there as great an opportunity for a man to show his persistence and determination. This spirit will gradually pervade all activities and will prove a powerful assistance in after-life...
