...prose specimens, but it is a little bit irritating: it is a kind of Phillips Brooks House "ad," based on the assumption that anything labelled "Service," with a capital "S," is "real" and "vital." Even the conclusion, in which the heroine throws over the Open Hearth rather than lose her life-long lover, leaves a suspicion that perhaps the author retains a conviction that to be a Boy Scout Leader or the Coach of an Uplift Nine is after all the noblest ambition of Young American Manhood. Mr. Murdock's story is shorter, and laid right here in Cambridge--Memorial...
...Another objection that has been raised is that a man doing such work would lose caste among his fellow-students. This question may best be answered by the statement that this year, 102 men registered at the Student Employment Office as desiring this sort of work. Of this number 44 were experienced. That there is this demand, and especially that men who have done the work and know what it is wish to do more of it, seems to dispose conclusively of this objection. It is hardly clear just why such employment works to a man's disadvantage any more...
...University's third goal on a quick shot from the side, and then Scott tallied for the second team, driving the puck in from a mix-up near the goal. The University men were too fast on their skates for the second team, and broke away frequently only to lose a chance to score by weak shooting. The scrubs, however, put up a stiff fight and rushed the puck into the opposite danger zone several times. Percy played very effectively for the University, while Captain Appleton and Rice did well on the second seven. Captain Morgan was excused from practice...
Brown will lose only five regulars from her successful 1915 football team by graduation, with the result that the prospects for next year are exceptionally good. Almost all of the players who came into prominence this season will be eligible next fall. The greatest blow to the team will be the loss of Captain Andrews at halfback, who all through the season has proved a capable leader. In addition to his work in the backfield, Andrews was the best punter on the team. He was also a drop kicker of some ability, his field goal being the only score...
...graduation next year, not so much in numbers as in the quality of the men. The graduation of Barrett will be a serious blow. The coaches cannot hope to find his equal in years, and will have to seek to make up by all-around team strength what they lose in the departure of this unusual players. He has done more for Cornell football than any man in the history of athletics at Ithaca, and largely through his own brilliant playing has the team gone through the season without a defeat. Collins, Cool, and Shelton will also be greatly missed...
