...weighty enough almost to necessitate placing the date of the proposed Yale-Cambridge race in July or early in August. We don't know how the Englishmen feel about it because we have not heard from them yet. We shall open negotiations soon and see how they look at the question...
...speaker taking his text from Col. 3, 1 and 2, made an earnest appeal against the use of earthly motives in our lives.
