...Dartmouth team yesterday afternoon by a score of 74-0. The Dartmouth men played a curious game, their three backs bunching close behind the quarter-back and breaking through the centre of the rush line together. Their play was effective, rarely gaining for them less than three yards, and often five or eight. The reason the Harvard team could not stop these rushers better lay in the fact that all the men were very slow in getting through, and all tackled high. The offensive game of the Harvard team was the best that it has played this year. The running...
...expediency, and we look for the abolition of all student advisory committees in the near future. So far as we have observed, the functions of the student committee do not extend further than intercession for offenders condemned at the faculty bar, and in such cases their recommendations too often fail to partake of the quality of disinterestedness to have great influence. It is hardly consistent with the dignity or authority of a college faculty to call in the assistance of under-graduates in the conduct of college affairs, or submit its decisions for under-graduates approval.

...reader, but for the student, the materials brought together are invaluable. Mr. Windsor contributes some very able papers in the fifth volume which are remarkable for their literary and historical treatment. As might be expected from the varied authorship, the work, judged as a historical narrative, is often deficient, but as a digest of our knowledge about our predecessors on this continent, it is unsurpassed...
...soul. The first is destructible and the second attains joy eternal. We groan because we have two different natures, that there is no unity in us; but who would not wish to take part in his soul's redemption? People who have turned from bad to good are often haunted by their evil thoughts and feelings of old. This is because their bodies are mere dumb creatures which do the tricks taught them. If we purify our inward souls our bodies will tend to form themselves accordingly...
