...most marked faults were a general lack of snap and a looseness of playing at critical points. Stevens started off with such a rush that Harvard seemed dazed for at least five minutes and could not get possession of the ball. Several times the ball was lost by pure carelessness; in two instances it was deliberately taken from Harvard players while running. The men tackled and blocked well, and the individual work was good. With so many new men, strong team play was not to be expected. On the whole, the work Saturday was encouraging, and there seems...

He always took an active interest in all college affairs, but especially in those for advancing the interests of Harvard.

However, the study of Homer at the present time is more intelligent than ever before, one reason being that our text is a very pure one, better even than the one used by Virgil. The subject matter of the poem, too, has been thoroughly illumined by the united learning of many eminent scholars; mythology, likewise, is better understood, as is also the civilization of the Homeric age. So that with improved helps and a better...
