...subjects thus far assigned for junior Themes have certainly possessed little interest or attractiveness in themselves. It may be part of the instructor's plan to train men in writing upon barren and uninviting subjects. We doubt if this is so, however. If not it would seem as if the list given out for so large a section could easily be extended. The field from which selections might be made is practically boundless. The list of subjects given out at other colleges as announced in the local college papers proves this fact. In default of other resources we should imagine...
...must beg to be excused for bringing up again a very old and worn-out subject, but it seems to us that a word in time may possibly save us from that daily bane which will soon threaten--a chapel service with the temperature somewhere near zero. The faculty have from time to time done much to increase our interest in morning prayers by improving the services, singing etc., but they seem to have forgotten a very important point-that even students need to be kept above a certain temperature if the interest is to be maintained. It has been...
...whole the play of our team was a great improvement over that shown in former games and our prospects seem decidedly brighter. The rush line is very strong and active, but there is need of more judgment and steadiness among the backs, if the rushers are to use their full strength. The passing was the best seen here this season, and would have proved equally effective against a much stronger team. But often, and especially in the second three-quarters when Williams made the safeties, our men missed many chances to score by slow and spiritless playing. In this point...
...generally accepted belief is indicated by the almost unheard-of interference of college faculties with the exercise of this power. In many of the colleges the growing consideration for student opinion has resulted in the admission of its voice in the councils of college management, and there would seem to be no fair reason for the suppression of college public sentiment through the generally faithful medium of the press...
...half-backs was way above average, while the rush line is made up of some superior materials. The determined and business-like way in which the Wesleyan team went to work at the beginning of the game was probably entirely unexpected by Harvard, and consequently made the Harvard team seem at first weaker than it really was. And then, too, it must be borne in mind that the team which Harvard will send into the championship games has not yet been selected, and that it is quite probable that not more than half of the team, as it will...
