No one could refuse absolutely to pay without realizing that he thereby put himself on record as utterly devoid of public spirit. Finally, all men who are able to be generous could feel confident that their contributions would pass into the most capable hands and that the money would be spent where it is most needed. In short, it would seem that the work might be done better and more easily thus...

Every man seemed to be making an extra effort and the result was that the team showed some of the hardest and fiercest football that has been seen on the field this season.

Their work in the past as individuals has been admirable in its simplicity and quiet effectiveness, and this new movement toward a more complete unity of purpose ought to strengthen all the societies greatly. It will place them in a still more dignified position before the University, and remedy their principal, if not their only weakness in the past. No man could be better fitted than Dr. Hodges to address such...
