...such a responsible position. He succeeded, however, in grounding the men in the fundamentals of the stroke he had imported, although in many of the more minor details he was not so successful. The whole matter was taken in hand by the English coaches and as they themselves say the Yale crew rows a stroke that very closely approximates that rowed at the English universities. Yale has had two time rows since reaching Gales Ferry, the latter being done in 21 minutes, 17 seconds...
...Without going into the question of predestination we may fairly say that Christianity is ruled entirely by faith. It requires men having authority in the government of the world, so as to make it possible for man to help and not hinder the plan of God. Men can regulate the future of mankind on this plan. But if we do not believe in fatalism imposed on mankind as a whole, we are, nevertheless, in very serious danger of falling into a belief on another kind,--the fatalism which is called the fatalism of the multitude.

We may agree with yellow editors, to a very limited extent, that stories must be written in a style, that will appeal to the people, but we refuse to believe that the people are asking for downright lies. Such a direct and apparently intentional perversion of the statement that a Harvard victory over the Yale crew is not a fixture will warm every loyal Harvard man to several degrees beyond white...
