...English schools play the Association game, and those that do cling to customs of their own and do not strictly adhere to the Association rules. The school at which a game is played most like the Association is Eton. Here a very small, light ball is used; this makes the play very lively and requires accurate kicking from the backs. It is hard to get a goal at Eton, because the goal posts are near together, and the cross bar is so low that it is difficult to kick the ball under it. When, however, what we should call...
...presuppositions actually have this ideal character. To both these objections the same response was made. The doctrine of evolution has its purely naturalistic as well as its teleological side; it is essentially "Applied idealism" and as thus applied to or superposed upon a mechanical view of nature, it must, like the Seventeenth Century philosophy, assign "low origin" to ideal things.

This kind of criticism is very encouraging, and needs no further elucidation. The great interest in Harvard which was re-awakened throughout the section of the country visited would be sufficient to repay everyone...
...were treated magnificently wherever they went, and whatever misgivings the faculty may have had concerning the effect of a tour like this, they will certainly be removed when they hear of the enthasiasm for Harvard that the clubs are used among our graduates, and in the various cities visited...
