...Carver, Yale 1900 to the intercollegiate strength-test championship. After discussing the Intercollegiate Strength Test Agreement, and quoting the rule prohibiting the use of belts, straps or harnesses or any description in taking the test, Dr. Sargent proceeds to apply the rules to the case in hand. The last paragraph of the statement is as follows...

The statement of what the writer has in view is made in the opening paragraph, but so obscurely, and with so little stress, that it is soon completely lost. And though possessed of a knowledge of his subject and an extent of reading rare in an undergraduate, the lack of unity due to this failure to show the connection between the main idea and the details does much to weaken and to lesson the value of the essay...
