With Pratt, most of the field event points ought to fall to Harvard. The shot put is his strong point, and few can equal him in the javelin, discus, and hammer. The javelin event claims a new man, May, of whom Coach Farrell expects a good deal in the future. For the discus, Pratt will find keen competition in the person of Captain Brandenburg of Exeter. The schoolboy leader is also entered in the broad jump...
...tutor decides what his pupil is going to read--though the order of subjects is more or less set by custom. He then assigns an essay subject, and gives a generous list of suggested reading. The subject is usually controversial, not to be written from text-books. It ought, however, to imply the study of important events and of a fairly long period, so that a series of eight essays approximates a connected study of what we should call a course.

At least that's the way juniors, sophomores, and freshmen think seniors ought to feel, for with them matters are quite otherwise. With these unfortunates what's done is not done. And worse still, the ghost of what's undone rattles its bones and joins forces with the specter of what's yet to do. It Robert Browning had been the true optimist and friend of mankind he is reputed to be, he would have...
