...stand taken by the University in respect to the advisability of entering a regular team at the annual track and field games, which will be held this year at Franklin Field, Philadelphia, May 31 and June 1, was clearly opposed to such a step. Yale and Princeton virtually coincided with the views held by the University, and, although they did not come to an actual decision, will probably send only individual entries to the meet...
...echo of a still remoter past in one of the contributions of Mr. Jayne, who really ought to stick to verse if he can't write decent prose. Here is a specimen that the late A. S. Hill should have lived to study: "It is not so much a respect for obtaining these rhymes that we feel, but rather that he is able to work them into a poem so facilely."

We are not thinking quite so much about the grades, but are rather desirous of getting more out of the course itself, because we realize that in this respect we are to be of more value to our country. It is not materially different from the idea that makes a man try his best to please his commanding officer, partly from a sense of duty and partly in a desire to be worthy of that officer's respect.
