...that a habit of indifference is begotten towards them, and pearls get cast before overfed creatures who take no notice of their preciousness. Some of the free lectures and courses given here should properly be reckoned by students among the privileges of a lifetime--but they are not. There ought, for example, to be two or three hundred more students at M. Rene Millet's lectures than appear there. The title of the course, and the analysis of its sub-divisions, sound, it is true, a little learned, and may have given the impression that the lecturer appeals only...
...football victories do, as a matter of fact, contribute to the growth and regulation of a college or university, there are evidently two opinions. But if a college or university is primarily a place for training men for honorable, generous, and efficient service to the community at large, there ought not to be more than one opinion on the question whether a game, played under the actual conditions of football, and with the barbaric ethics of warfare, can be a useful element in the training of young men for such high service.

Now that the conflict occurs, the track management and those individuals concerned ought to be willing to adjust themselves to a situation which was brought about through no fault of the basketball management. Having removed all objections I arranged my schedule in good faith. Changes at this late date would constitute a breach of faith, as well as a breach of contract...
...Four or five hundred of them go to the river every afternoon although the Isis is hardly wide enough for a good throw with a cat and hardly deep enough to drown her. Let no Anglophobia persuade us to despise a good game because it is English. We ought to be willing to learn of the Patagonians if they can teach us. There are hundreds of men in our dear University who are tired of the fun of watching star players. How did Theodore Roosevelt take his exercise? How did he first attract public notice? By boxing...
