...What I hear about our debates is truly surprising and pleases me beyond measure. The men who are heard in the college debates have positive reality and naturalness, and these qualities are always most effective. How often some of us have heard 'Be natural,' 'Meet with force the resistance before you,' 'Speak out straight from the heart,' 'Suit the action to the thought.' Heeding these directions, because they have appealed forcibly to the common sense of those who heard them, Harvard men have become more impressive and convincing on the platform. These qualities have helped immeasurably to our success...
...amateur accurately stated, and to feel that one can honestly differ with him and still consistently advocate purity in athletics. He says an amateur is one who plays purely for love of the sport; a professional, one who plays in part for gain.

The Turks won the country by arms and by arms they keep it with barbarous misrule and pillage. Nor, in spite of repeated treaties agreed to by the Sultan, has anything yet been done to alleviate the miseries to which the Christians are subjected...
...briefly outlined and will be practically the same as in former years. There will be four squads, at 10 and 11 in the morning and 3.30 and 4.30 in the afternoon. All men who possibly can are urged to join the morning sections, as those in the afternoon are often so large as to be unwieldy. No spiked shoes will be allowed to be worn in the Gymnasium except down stairs in certain places, and this rule will be rigidly enforced. The first important games are those which the B. A. A. holds on Feb. 8. All those...
