...average? Is attendance at lectures, both by competitors and spectators, affected by athletics? Are marks lower during football and baseball season than during the winter months? Are the athletes falling behind in the pursuit of graduate studies their fourth year? These are a few of the questions we should like to have answered. Then and only then, will it be possible to take up more than general arguments in our efforts to show that athletic curtailment is not the proper remedy...
...garden wall it is quite easy to walk around it. Of the structural refinements of Both well, on the other hand, he does not seem sufficiently appreciative. The style is not good; one grows tired of "encient" and "curtain," and other un-necessarily technical phrases like "bridge of approach" and "battering (i.e. sloping) bases"; harsh collations of words are common, and even quite inadmissible expressions, like easily in "the prophecy was easily declared verified," occur.

If for any reason you cannot believe or have not been taught to believe in the infinite mercy of Heaven, which has made...
...would like you to study that man. I would like you better to be that man, because from the lower point of view it doesn't pay to be obsessed by the desire of wealth for wealth's sake. If more wealth is necessary for you, for purposes not your own, use your left hand to acquire it, but keep your right for your proper work in life. If you employ both arms in that game you will be in danger of stooping; in danger of losing your soul. But in spite of every thing you may succeed...
