...organization, whereas under incorporation the liability of the stockholders would be limited to proportionate shares; at present proceedings at law by the Society have to be brought or defended in the individual name of some one of the officers, a thing which is certainly distasteful and might prove seriously unpleasant to him, whereas after incorporation actions can be undertaken by the corporate designation; and incorporation would create a close, firm, responsible, and effective body to have control of the Society's affairs, doing away with the present possibility of loose dealings in leases, notes, etc. These three benefits I shall...

...besides the regular roaches. The men lack team work and the backs are year as strong as usual, but superior team work will give it an advantage over the Freshmen. In the games played hitherto, Exeter has shown very little power in offense but a defensive strength likely to prove great enough to offer a vigorous resistance to the swift but ill-organized attack of the Freshman eleven...
