Turning now to personal life, Dean Fenn said that there were many specific ways in which a man's possessions might stand in the way of his possibilities. Many a man of brilliant parts has made little of himself simply because he was never obliged to put forth all his powers. A man of means frequently fails, just because of that fact, to become a means for the highest ends. Occasionally crises come in which the Christ appears bearing the sword and demanding utter self-renunciation. No one here, almost under the shadow of Memorial Hall, can doubt it. Today...
Again, it often happens that a man's wealth spoils his possibilities of deep and diversified friendship. For it is among workers and never among idlers that true friendships are formed. But there are other possessions than those of money which interfere with a man's possibilities and foremost among these are intellectual possessions.

After waiting for a base on balls, he ran down to second, starting just as the catcher was throwing the ball to the pitcher. Mansfield's throw to second was too late, as Leonard made a neat slide. McCall then bunted, putting Leonard on third, but getting...
Just what the make-up of the four-oar will be is still uncertain. All sorts of combinations have been tried without obtaining the proper results and now a new man has been sent for to be tried out during the week. Yale, as usual has a good four-oar and the chances are in their favor. The Freshman race looks favorable to Harvard at present, but sickness had caused a change in the Yale crew until very recently, and the regular eight may prove considerably faster...
