...poets sang the tales of many heroes, especially of Rolland. They were, in a broad sense, historians, and their narratives have an air of truth that makes them seem real and alive. They always followed the line of thought closely; they were clear and precise; they thought of what they spoke, and not of how they spoke, Stern, rude, and unadorned their poetry was, but certainly it had vitality, significance, and grandeur...
...anxious as any one of us to win from Yale; they are more anxious; and they have to do the work, to stand the training, to keep themselves fit for the big battle. Do not let us dishearten them by dismal, doleful predictions, however much these may seem justified by the recent successes of our opponents. A game is never lost until time is called. Our men have near a fortnight in which to recruit and practise. Any one who understands the matter will readily agree that the team which will face Yale will be in much better condition than...
...with a suitable Museum of Fine Arts. We are thoroughly in sympathy with the writer of the article.

Now Monday and Tuesday of the final week are the most important days of the whole season and it would not do to have the men in the condition they were after...
...left before our game with Yale, not much to be sure, and in that time a decided stride must be taken if we are to make any showing. The outlook today is discouraging and with the possibility of more changing and shifting, great improvement in the future does not seem very probable. But unless that improvement comes and the condition of the eleven becomes very much more favorable, last year's result may be again repeated. There should be no reason for this; the material in the eleven is good and the coaches are all that could be desired...
