The cases are numberless where persons have suffered from the most unjust imposition because of the fear that the very words "law" and "court" have caused them.

This financing of athletics which, after the initial outlay, would not be very considerable, should be undertaken...

While many men feel that their time is too full to crowd into it another activity, the manner in which they meet this appeal from the less fortunate is a fair indication of their future usefulness. Men who have done this work assert to the fact that the value of the experience repays their time many fold...
