...soon, to turn some of the enthusiasm which now holds almost exclusively to athletic contests. Though oratory and argument cannot be practiced on an open field every afternoon before grand stands full of enthusiastic students, they are yet, in their quiet way, quite as important as football; and the sooner people see their importance, the sooner the false impression which follows this athletic craze will be dispelled. At tonight's debate every man who cares to compete will be given a chance, and the best interests of the University demand that the best men be chosen; they cannot be chosen...
...want to remind the freshmen that there is a special meeting given them by the H. A. A., and that the sooner they begin training for it the better. There is no better way in which they can show their support to the Mott Haven Team than in coming out in numbers. More-over, it is the best opportunity they have in the whole course.

After the season is more advanced the lake will be given up to the Freshman crew, and the University crew will row on the harbor as usual, as the course on the lake is only two miles long...
...said there were few things that many people dread more than beggary. Each has his idea of what he wants, the loss of which would perhaps mean beggary to him, and he might suffer and die sooner than give it up. It is curious to think how true this is of every member of the hurrying crowds we see around us every day; each with his small function in the world, and each with his fear for something, the loss of which would mean beggary to him. "Be master of thyself" and no material loss can then mean anything...
