...found, partiality to certain sports might make him worthless for the position. Again, supposing the man obtainable, the existence of a chief responsible in a lump for all expenditure would remove all feeling of individual responsibility from the treasurers of the different organizations, and extravagance would be the rule. Besides, while now many men support different teams liberally because they are fond of that particular branch of athletics, under the combination these men would grow indifferent, not desiring to support things in which they had no interest...
...laid more pretence to literary excellence than the "Crimson." In addition to the editorials, sketches, etc., it published short stories and essays. It also gave more attention to items than it now does. The "Lampoon" is but little changed.

Between the Teutonic and Gallic races, however, there has always been an ever bitter rivalry, and as a rule the Teutonic have come out ahead. It is interesting to note how well this rule is emphasized in the matter of versalility of languages. The French, in regard to translation, was shown to be remarkably versatile. But read the following renderings from a sight passage in German given to a freshman class of not many years...
