...that the old is not after all exclusively the "true." Care was taken to recall the old position of Harvard in the question of classics, and to draw the conclusion so natural to a man of Yale that, because Harvard no longer occupies her old position she is per se in a wrong position. The claim was again advanced that Yale is the national college, and as such stands foremost among all the colleges in this land. Dr. Porter spoke at some length on the religious influence of Yale, and declared that everywhere the public demand is "that our young...
...external observances prove inward convictions? What right has any one to prefer upon mere hear-say the gravest accusations that intimate knowledge can justify?

Bemis, as quarterback, does not "discombobulate" the other side when they have the down quite as much as he might-se Twombly's play of last year. In making a long pass to a back who is to run, he should try to pass the ball far enough ahead of the back so that he will be at full speed when he catches the ball. Holden's best rush in the game Saturday before...
