...spoke his eight hundred lines as readily as if Greek were the only language he knew, without an instant's pause or cessation of vivacity, and Euelpides kept the audience in constant laughter by his comic appearance and his ridiculous "business." The intelligence with which every actor contrived to render his own part an essential feature in the fun of the play was the most striking feature of the performance. Euelpides, for instances, when he was on the stage at one time without speaking, essayed his new wings in a series of extremely ridiculous attempts at flight from...
...making the proposed change. Many of the faculty, however, feel that the interests of the college demand that Greek should maintain the high position it now occupies, but most of them do not, as many believe, underrate the value of the modern studies. Some of the textbooks used render a knowledge of German, as a tool in the study of Greek, absolutely necessary, and the advocates of Greek believe that an arrangement can be made by which more prominence may be given to German without lowering the standard of Greek. If Greek is made elective, there is little doubt that...

We trust that this strange lethargy which seems to hold the college may be shaken off, and that the concert tonight may evince the fact that the students are both ready and willing to render the support they are in duty bound to give...
There is another point however to be taken on the subject of hour examinations, and this, since there is no immediate probability of their being abolished, if only heeded, will render them far less objectionable-we refer to their length.

This of course brings buried work, and, in most cases, correspondingly poor work. Especially is this true in the examinations on languages. A man is given...
...taken at a disadvantage. Now the effect of this discipline upon the team itself is to be noticed. Each player, instructed in these details, gains a much keener insight into the game and a familiarity with concerted play, all of which enormously increases his resources and thus renders him doubly effective. Moreover the danger of any demoralizing effect of sudden changes in the play is minimized. The effect of such a system upon the game itself is undoubtedly to strengthen and render it more scientific. As a matter of fact, the rough nature of the game has rather withdrawn attention...
