...there were, as if the best part of a college education was not to get the rub of them. Hence it happened that I then formed no personal association with my classmates, and always felt remote and as if I presented the picture of a forlorn little fellow who ought to have been at home. To this day I have never got over an awe of them that I have never had of anybody else. . . . I recollect no instruction which was not of the most perfunctory and indifferent sort, unless possibly it was that of Professor Cooke in chemistry...
...eleven last week. In Glick Princeton has an excellent general and a good man both in running with the ball and also in the interference. As a punter Driggs, is far ahead of the Syracuse kickers. The Princeton line has suffered so far through lack of coaching, but this ought to improve now that Cooney has returned to take care of that department of the game. On the whole, the backfield, composed of Captain Glick, Driggs, Tibbott, and Shea, has proved to be a fast offensive combination...
...subtle, if not a more difficult, question, and it is one that we must actually face, because it involves a strong existing tendency among American colleges.

What that one should be will vary with the personal aptitude of the student. In my own opinion, it is better, as a general rule, that it should not be too closely akin to the subject...
...share of the loss. This is the more true the larger the war. The waste and dislocation are certain to bring in the belligerent countries a depression of business that will go round the world. The self-interest of all nations, therefore, as well as the cause of humanity, ought to make every country desire peace among others as well as for itself. This is universally admitted by our people today. It is accepted as an axiom; but the means to the end are uncertain. We have been fascinated by the idea of arbitration, of an international tribunal, of conferences...
