...little attention on the whole is paid to this subject. It can justly be said indeed that many of our courses are but attempts to train the mind in methods of mental labor and of scientific investigation. An outline and a bibliography of a subject is all that often can be attempted in these days of rapid differentiation in departments of knowledge. The fact that so little attention is paid by the college and by the majority of professors to the giving of instruction and aid in this more material department of the intellectual life is perhaps explained...
...rush line is very strong and active, but there is need of more judgment and steadiness among the backs, if the rushers are to use their full strength. The passing was the best seen here this season, and would have proved equally effective against a much stronger team. But often, and especially in the second three-quarters when Williams made the safeties, our men missed many chances to score by slow and spiritless playing.

It is but natural when one side is always the winning side, and that too with no great exertion, that this side should begin to feel an over-weening confdence in its own skill and knowledge, and this has been the case so far this season with our team. No important games have as yet been played, and the judgment formed by the team of its strength from...
