...conception before they listened to his talk, was the keynote of most that he had to say to them. The course professed to be about Greek art, and certainly nobody was better qualified to illuminate that subject; but it was wonderful to observe how he showed that such a seemingly dead and gone thing could be a living influence, in so many different ways, upon this work-a-day world. It may seem a prodigious leap from Apelles to chromos, from the Greek tunic to ready-made clothes, or from the Parthenon to a house with a mansard roof covering...
...game of the season this afternoon with Phillips Exeter Academy at Exeter. Exeter was defeated last Saturday by the Princeton freshmen, in a good game by the score of 12 to 10. The University Freshmen defeated Groton 6 to 0, the first time in years, so that the chances seem to be against the Academy team. Last year the score was 0 to 0, although Exeter scored by a trick play on receiving a kick-off. The touchdown was afterwards declared illegal on account of offside play...

With election day little more than a month off and their competitors of rival political faith marshaled by men of campaign experience, prepared to strain every nerve in the coming contest, they find themselves without a constitution.

The other guards of last year's second and Freshman teams are hardly heavy enough for the University eleven...
...Cutler and Minot of the Freshman eleven are all first-rate players. W.H. Brown, a former Exeter player, who was ineligible to play last fall, is a heavy and powerful fullback. Doubtless some of these men will be transferred to halfback, for which position the only regular candidates seem to be Gilbert and Graydon of last year's squad...
