Cornell is also confronted with the task of training many new men to fill gaps caused by graduation and ineligibility. The excellent spirit shown by the candidates, however, is doing much to dispel the gloom at Ithaca. Furthermore, most of the available men are conversant with Coach Sharpe's methods and teachings, another factor which will count greatly in the upbuilding of an aggressive team. Cornell's first game will be played Wednesday with Ursinus...
...football situation on the whole, however, is distinctly better than it was at the outset of last year. Not only are more men back, but there are more men out who are familiar with sort of football Sharpe teaches, and the spirit of determination and willingness of the squad is pleasing to the coaches.

James Russell Lowell in the later years of his life remarked that he had seen many spirits of the age and some of them never came on, and that is unquestionably true. It is very much in the hands of any man, who chooses to do so, to have a very perceptible influence on the spirit of the age in which he lives and on the destiny of the age which is to follow. There has never been any time in the history...
