Stevenson, said Mr. Copeland, was indirectly one of the chief motive forces of the brother Scots who have followed him in writing; and directly the inspiration of the longer romances of Mr. Barrie and Mr. Crockett. In spite of the many brilliant merits of "The Little Minister," it is seriously faulty as a work of art, because the sweet and pungent realism of the Little Minister part of the book is mingled but not blended with the psendo-romance of Babby the Egyptian and her wonderful pranks.

...College has seen a winning eleven, or a winning crew, or a winning nine. This year has begun badly, but let the College make it end better. Regard defeat not as a disagreeable necessity, but as a disgrace that can be borne no longer.

Harvard played a hard, aggressive game from the start and rarely failed to advance the ball through Pennsylvania's tackles, by good interference. To Haughton and Holden the main credit is due. Their work both in interfering and in carrying the ball was uniformly excellent. Haughton indeed making longer and more frequent gains than any other player on the Harvard team. Holden's work was most noticeable when the ball was carried by halfback Dayton, and he deserves credit for many of Dayton's runs. Haughton and Dayton bore the brunt of all Harvard's advances though they were well...
