...himself an agnostic. So did Darwin, although Darwin at times leaned toward theism. Our great teachers at Harvard have been great theists, and no doubt Gray was greatly influenced by his companions. The theistic form of evolution seems never to have disturbed Asa Gray's faith. I wish to say that through his whole life Asa Gray was a student of theology; but Darwin said he had no time for studying religious truths. Gray observed Sunday; Darwin did not. As to the growth of the soul in old age these men stand in great contrast. Darwin was a mighty river...
...than foot-ball, it is absolutely necessary that all new men who wish to try for the team should begin regular work immediately. Later on there will be some "stick" practice for those who have not yet learned how to handle a lacrosse racquet; but it is needless to say that, unless a man shows interest enough to do the regular exercise in the gymnasium, he cannot expect that pains will be taken to teach him this later acquirement.

Many men are coming to be indifferent to the claims of women to any other treatment than they themselves receive in the cars, but it is a very...
...Advocate goes on to say that the CRIMSON, "compared with the Yale News, contains very little readable matter." The two cases are not exactly comparable. In the first place the Yale News does not confine itself strictly to college news, as does the CRIMSON; secondly, the News receives much greater financial support, not only from the undergraduates but from the graduates. This is an instance of the great and powerful "college spirit" which exists at Yale in contradistinction to the spirit of indifference here at Harvard. This same college spirit is what makes Yale victorious over us in athletics...
