...theme of his remarks was "Liberty and Law." In the minds of most people liberty means evasion of law. The ordinary young man, for instance, passes through a period when he refuses to believe that law is reasonable, and acting on this belief he throws off law.

...other colleges is a thing far different from racing against Yale alone, and if Harvard does no better than she did yesterday, the chances of her winning the Mott Haven games are terribly uncertain. There is still a week before the intercollegiate games. If this is too short a period for the men to do very much toward improving their speed, it is not too short for them to work themselves into the best of physical condition, and to get the idea firmly fixed in their minds that only by their very hardest efforts can they hope to keep...
