...last the communistic ownership of property gave way owing to the vigor of enterprise which characterizes modern life. Men saw that the problems of the race could never be worked out or worthy attainments in art an the sciences be reached under that regime. Personal ownership of land and the right to its yieldings became an immense stimulus to effort...
...among the many faces whom we saw in the meeting room, there were not enough freshmen; this is a pity. If we remember well the freshman meets last fall were unusually spirited; and there were at that time and probably are yet - unless they have had a misunderstanding with the office - a considerable number of very promising athletes in the class of '90.

Experts who saw the games say that the Columbia anchor was subjected to the most terrific strain that has ever been their lot to witness. In addition to the medals, our team was presented with a handsome, silver fringed, silk banner, which will soon be placed in the trophy room. The team was treated with the greatest courtesy while in New York, and wish to acknowledge especially the courtesy of Mr. Schuyler...
