Knowing that each player could do so twice with impunity, the committee rightly felt that foot-ball played with this spirit ought to be checked, and so far every right-minded student will agree...

Where the logic comes in adopt-such a course and yet retaining a professional gymnastic teacher and allowing a professional sparer to be in the gymnasium is difficult to comprehend.

...that Prof. Coit Tyler devotes a chapter to "The Dynasty of the Mathers." To be a scholar was part of the family inheritance."
