...strictly literary work dealt with nature, of which he was a great lover and student. "The Land of the Lingering Snow," and "At the North of Bearcamp Water," show an appreciation of nature, such as perhaps no man has expressed since the time of Thorean...
...motions and of well balanced bodies. The idea is to find out by comparison what sorts of exercise demand as a pre-requisite the most accurate mental aim and the quickest motor response and also what sorts of exercise develope these to the greatest degree. If the tests made show that with tennis, fencing, boxing and football there go varying degrees of quickness and accuracy, tables can be prepared and statistics made out which will be very interesting and valuable. The tests are along a line parallel and immediately related to those of Dr. Sargent. Dr. Fitz deals with...
...country distant from the university. A careful study of the figures, which are taken from the Yale Banner and the Harvard Catalogue, proves beyond question that this year the conditions are exactly reversed.

In other words, though both Harvard and Yale have grown, Harvard has grown more rapidly...

The sooner the students learn that athletics are not the chief aim of the University and that the University is not small or great as it loses or wins athletic contests, the sooner they will show sound sense in the matter. The new rules will preclude the possibility of a man's coming here simply for athletics and when men are on athletic teams they will have to keep up their regular college work. This practically reduces the evils of our athletics to a minimum...
