Success in everything to which he applied himself was his characteristic, and well-merited success, earned by patient and persevering labor. As a student, or as an athlete, this earnestness of purpose showed itself, and the result was always satisfactory. For this reason, we cannot but feel that his loss is a real loss, not only to the present, but to the future. No man in college had a future more promising of good work, and the career cut short so early, would surely have been one the world could ill afford to lose...
...regular pamphlet. Last year, the department of political economy, with considerable enterprise, made up a supplementary sheet, detailing at more length the necessary information.

Still, the faculty, while allowing considerable liberty to the student, always retained the right to insist upon his attending recitations, if they saw fit to do so. This seems to us to be all that has been conceded in the way of voluntary recitations...
...result of the game was to be expected, as such a selection of picked men, all old players, playing well, have an advantage over any single club which is likely to have some raw material at the beginning of the season. Their opponents complimented our team on their play, and with good solid work said they ought to do well in their coming college games...
