...youth, have seized this opportunity to "play tricks" on their follows, and have sent them bogus notices of their marks signed with some instructor's name. There is something essentially funny in this playfulness. We can hardly suppress a smile when we think of the sensation experienced by a man who has really earned A and receives notice that his mark is E. The thought of the annoyance to arise from the investigation that will follow, both to him and the instructor, is almost irresistible. However, with a severe effort, we manage to control our mirth.

Phillips got in some hard blows, and Lawrence seemed pretty well used up when time was called. The third round opened much the same as the second, Phillips...
...duty toward Him, we must keep him in our hearts from our youth up. The days of childhood are days of impressions. As we grow older our perceptions become duller, and our lives are less easily molded. Wax must be stamped when it is warm. Whenever a man raises an ideal late in life, he always regrets the possibility of achievement which might have been his, had he awakened sooner. If we begin early to follow the example of Christ, the goodness which at first comes by reflection will become instinctive...
