...constantly recurring strikes in the ship-yards of the Atlantic seaboard present serious obstacles to our naval program. The demand for ships has never been greater than now. Figures just made public demonstrate that the U boat has outrun the combined efforts of English and American ship-yards by three to one. New ships in vastly increased quantities must be had if this year is to see the tide turn. Yet the unpatriotic action of a large part of our workers at the present time threatens this all-important artery of our war machine. Whether walkouts have been inspired...
...incorporation brings all the financial improvements which are anticipated from it. But even the increase of less than a dollar, required immediately to reduce the membership by 988 would be diminished each year for three years, until in 1906 and forever after the possible number of shares would far outrun the actual membership of the Society. This result is plainly necessary from the figures, for the last eight years, of the increase in the size of the University, the membership of the Society, and its capital stock. Indeed, so far as the number of available shares goes, every person connected...
...Harvard class team race was won by '99 with '97 a close second, '98 third, and '96 last. Yale was fairly outrun by Princeton in their team race, although Gerard of Yale unfortunately slipped and fell at the finish of his relay.

Sterritt finished three yards ahead Boyer took Sterritt's place and Eaton touched Marshall, who was slow in getting off. Marshall succeeded in making up the lost...
...region lies in the opportunities for contrasting the behavior of the lovers with that which novel-writers nowadays give to their heroes. On marking the difference, one involuntarily feels almost proud of his century for being in this particular a little less ridiculous than bygone times, although it may outrun them in a thousand other absurdities. To whatever quality it may be due, whether to common-sense, or lack of deference, or indolence, we no longer find the lover addressing his mistress in metaphors, the far-fetchedness of which would put to shame the worst of college puns, nor does...
...lover of his race could scarcely have intended such black pigments for students in general, and we must seek among ourselves peculiarly for the peccadilloes of licentiousness and drunkenness which he has placed in pillory. I am afraid that with our author anxiousness for our ultimate perfection has outrun observation of facts. I object to the otherwise good figure in regard to Society's veiling its head in the presence of immorality, on the ground that the mask is for the erring. That one should pretend to discover among us openness of vice, that last step in moral degradation...
