...been a real colonel whom its author had known and loved. In "The Sophist" we have much a variation of the perennial motif as Polonius might call the tragical-psychological. The bearer of the title-role convinces an enamored college-friend that there is no such thing as the power of love, and with such effect that "It's all over" between the friend and his affianced. The "Power," embodied in none other than the woman aforesaid, turns out to be too strong for the Sophist himself, and so justifies the title. The real stage-business of the piece...
...easy one. This year the contest will be an unusually hard one on account of the versatility and skill of the Indian eleven in the use of the new plays. The Carlisle team is considerably lighter than last year, and correspondingly faster, circumstances which should materially increase then gaining power if they can keep possession of the ball.

...speaker frankly admitted that in spite of all arguments, immortality was, after all, a hope. And yet, he said, it is a hope which reason compels our mind to adopt. Predominant over all matter we find that curious, spiritual thing called personality. Love, dreams of power, music, intellectual activities-abstract qualities which one cannot buy, see, not touch-all denote that we move in a spiritual realm.

To one who considers all the great minds and intellectual geniuses which the world...
