...much to college life. This side of college life which Vassar and Smith and the other colleges for women offer cannot be found at present at the Annex. Nevertheless, it is often dangerous for social welfare to form too many clubs at the same time. The enthusiasm of the moment which takes up an idea with great gusto can often carry it to an excess and fail to develop into honest interest. A few clubs which can be kept up by earnest and lasting interest are better than many clubs which, formed by hasty enthusiasm, in the end fall...
...Under these conditions art was slow to start. Hence Spain was not one of the poetically fecund nations of the Middle Ages. The earliest literature we have in the vulgar Spanish tongue belongs to the end of the 12th century, - a century later than the earliest French literature of moment.

Hamlin, Gould, and Fennessy all made good runs at different stages of the game, and Bullard, who took Gould's place when the latter was hurt, made one particularly good run at the last moment, aided by the interference of Clark. Not much is to be said of the rushline except that they broke through well on Worcester's kicks. Borden showed a tendency to fumble, but this can be corrected, especially as it was due chiefly to his over-zeal in passing quickly, and not to carelessness...
