After all it is not important as to which of the halls renders "Upidee" or "The Tavern in the Town" most tunefully; the all-important purpose is to get the Freshmen together, and incidentally to interest a large number in singing and music--men who otherwise would probably scorn the mere idea...
...Rickard (promoter of the Dempsey -Willard, Firpo -Willard, Dempsey-Firpo fights) laughed at the new promoters with indifferent scorn.

Further, we should not deceive ourselves by thinking that compulsory chapel is the great issue. Were that true we could discredit...

The study of "Fool Rules" ought to bring out a number of those unreasonable, often inane regulations which sometimes incite players to violence and expose innocent umpires to general scorn.
