...been urged that the class will have very little business to transact, and therefore will have no need of going to all the trouble necessary for the establishment of a constitution which will often act as a hindrance rather than as a benefit. But how a reasonable constitution, adopted by the class, and always subject to amendment, can act as a restraint upon anything but irresponsibility and ineffectiveness, is somewhat difficult to perceive...
...current number of the Advocate through maturity of treatment and variety of theme is unusually good. The leading editorial--on criticism--by neglecting the precaution of premising its definition of good criticism and over-looking the fact that, besides the destructive, there is an appreciative criticism often as illuminating as the work itself, falls into the error of condemning the good for the sins of the bad.

Executive ability has in both cases been treated as a fixed quality in the candidates under consideration. In reality the power to be of service...
...assist the forwards in advancing the ball and keeping it in Princeton territory. This team play in the second half showed great improvement over that of the first period. The Harvard players had a tendency to fumble the ball and in their efforts to assist the forwards the guards often left the Princeton forwards uncovered. Had the goal-throwing of the Princeton team been more accurate, poor defensive work might have proved disastrous...
