...they like and finally it must take the place of the forbidden fall practice! These are all honorable purposes, but it is ridiculous to believe that spring practice makes the "over-emphasis" any less acute than fall practice. And as a practical aid to winning games, it is obvious that fall practice, which conditions the squad when conditioning is valuable, can never be satisfactorily supplanted, even by spring practice in the most deadly earnest. If "over-emphasis" is still undesirable, such practice is unexcusable; and from a utilitarian point of view, it cannot conceivably accomplish what is required...
...English University enjoy over Harvard. No doubt there are many advantages in favor of our friends across the sea, but most people seem to lose sight of the consideration that Harvard has grown under different circumstances, to meet different problems and amid different influences, than those surrounding Oxford. The obvious result is that we must look at ourselves as we are in our own environment and improve where we can, and not say simply because such and such an arrangement is better at Oxford and suits their requirements that we would do well to immitate their methods here in Cambridge...
...whole college and knows nearly all his fellow undergraduates in short order. A logical explanation to this seems to appear in the very nature of that small college itself.

An individual goes to a college, if he can, wherein he thinks he will be congenial, or which appeals to his particular tastes. Consequently there are likely to be free and easy relations between the members of any one particular college. This...
With the mushroom growth of university stadiums during the past decade football, at least, has assumed the outward appearance of a great entertainment staged for the amusement of the public and the financial benefit of the college. In substance the amateur spirit has resisted the most obvious encroachments, but any approach to the methods of professionalism calls for immediate rejection. The proposal for a league organization of baseball among the eastern colleges seems to be just such an approach. In the bitter and prolonged competition for the league championship that would undoubtedly result, the position and powers of the coach...
...once it is obvious that the success of this institution would largely affect the future of the world. Just what the intellectual attainments of the yogis consist in is rather indefinite; but the emotions of saints nothing could be more helpful in the solution of modern world problems! And if the physical control of Hindu ascetics has no immediate application to politics it would at least be unusually valuable in everyday life with food prices mounting indefinitely and rents "perfectly frightful, you know!" in fact, if Mr. Gurdjieff can manage to corral all of the Germans, most of the Russians...
