The trouble in the past has been that too much dependence has been placed upon one or two men for any particular sport, and the natural result was that, when they left college, there was no one to fill their place.

Student custom in Germany varies somewhat in this respect. The professor usually comes in after his audience is assembled and generally leaves before the others withdraw. In many places his coming and going receive no attention unless he be advanced...
