...person who is capable of judging a question impartially. If Yale's plan had been a reasonable one, arbitration would have given her all that she now claims. If it had been shown to be unreasonable she ought to have been willing to abide by the decision, for the sake of deciding the championship. But here is just the point where Yale's sportsmanlike spirit can be doubted. No one who has followed this correspondence from beginning to end can beleive that Yale has had any idea of making a third game possible. She has offered every possible obstacle...
...mingled feeling of pleasure and regret. Dr. Lawrence as a graduate of the University, an active worker in her interests and a warm personal friend to hundreds of students, receives our congratulations on the honor which has come to him in this sacred trust. For his own sake and for the satisfaction of seeing one of Harvard's sons about to enter so honorable a position we find pleasure in his acceptance.

In the cases of the graduate and professional schools, where there is no way of learning of a case as soon as it appears, it is particularly desirable and even necessary that the precautions suggested by the Regent should...
...good wishes of the University are due not only to the 'varsity nine, but to the members of the crew and the freshman team who give up their vacation for the sake of doing better justice to the college when the final contests come. Their task is not free from a certain amount of drudgery, no matter what the spirit may be which prompts them to sacrifice their own pleasure. The rest of the college leave Cambridge for a week of enjoyment. These few remain for hard, conscientious work, and we hope the result of their labor will repay them...
