...Hill's remarks, encouraging all to set aside and employ certain hours in reading and studying the English authors, we fear that by many this will not be done. Owing to the constant pressure of work, one's good resolutions to employ one's time in outside reading are seldom realized, and it is only when urged on by some present necessity that we are induced to make the reading a part of our regular work. Many never take any English course in college, and of these there are many who read little or no standard English literature outside their...
...Others, though less hostile, consider the university career "no good," except to give manners, and hold that the money and time, though not exactly wasted, are expended to secure a problematical gain, in the way not so much of success or of happiness, as of grade. These men are seldom thoroughly cultivated, but greatly exaggerate the effect of university culture upon grade, perhaps of all errors about the system the one most generally prevalent.

This would give all the preparation necessary, as the weights are at best but a poor substitute for oars...
...team was, perhaps, unable to match them in these particulars, but wisely stuck to their usual tactics, seldom running with the ball, but forcing the attack by a series of passes from one man to another. By this plan New York was unable to cover her opponents, and as her men grew tired successive goals were made on her, each in shorter time than the preceding. The third goal was made before fifty minutes, and by it the Oelrichs cup came into the possession of Harvard...
