...faithful to its traditions, inspired by its associations, he entered upon his duties with well-considered and definite ideas for the development of the College. Uninfluenced by the prejudices and apprehensions of the hour, he has guided the College into the new ways which have led up to the real University...
...University has been given this season an exhibition of what a real coaching staff consists of. Ever since the middle of September those men of experience and judgment have planned and labored to bring order and system into the work of preparation, all of which has been guided by the unerring judgment and skill of Mr. Haughton. The season was carried through exactly as he had planned it way back last summer.

It is not so clearly demonstrable that the game, under present conditions of attendance, favors "in the mass of spectators a loyal life and a practical love of loyalty." This is Professor Royce's test of the real value of the game. To confute him would require considerable skill in what Daniel Webster once called "the arithmetic of Heaven." Meanwhile Professor Royce invites all who disagree with him to use their opportunities, as spectators, as a means of making themselves more loyal and devoted men. This invitation ought...
