...Thee do we beg assistance. Direct us in the right way; in the way of those to whom Thou hast been gracious, on whom there is no wrath, and who go not astray. The sixth verse coincides word for word with the 11th line of the 27th Psalm. The religious student notes further the agreement of the ideas here with Jewish and Christian liturgy...
...shells slipped over a panel of golden water, glazed with sunset, it was apparent that this apprehension was not unfounded. The Princeton crew rowed hard; the Washington crew rowed easily; the Princeton coxswain barked excitedly; the Washington, coxswain chanted a beat as slow as a Baptist psalm. At the mile the men of Princeton, tiring, had slipped a little behind; at the finish, six lengths...

Greb had won most of the 15 rounds, many said, but lost his title for muckery. Tiger, though...
...productions, but what have these college-boy partisanships to do with serious matters of artistic beauty where large and vital loyalties are at stake? Suppose a Yale critic were to impugn the taste, which should set up a piece of poetic sentimentality like, let us say. Longfellow's "Psalm of Life" as a model and touchstone for young lovers of poetry. Should we not, Harvard and Yale men alike, regard him as performing an important public service?
