...Lowell was then introduced. He deplored the fact that he would be unable to meet Freshmen personally as he had been wont to do in former years. He likened the life of a Freshman to that of a sea captain about to leave the harbor for a foreign port. Like the captain who guides his ship by the compass, so the new student must guide his acts by his conscience...
...successful that he may be depended on to turn out several point winners. Another season should see great improvement in Lawrence, and Barker, Mueller, Dennis, and Wheelwright are developing for the high jump. Barr will again be the mainstay in the pole-vault, with no other candidate showing anything like the same ability. For the broad jump, Long, Dillingham, and Winward are the most promising, as Little will probably confine himself to the shot-put.

Above all it would be dangerous for our elective system, if serious students were guided by such a commentary in the choice of their courses. There may be poor courses in the University, but the chances are great that this kind of canvassing with this kind of answering and tabulating entirely distorts the picture...
