...deliberately plans to "put one over" on the Faculty is not the clear thinker. He is still immature, still the small boy with a spit-ball mania. To him, his teacher is some far-off monster forcing down his throat--teaching--something that he is convinced will do him no good. His imagination makes his deceitfulness seem clever and in his cleverness he loses sight of the fact that the teacher is not the person who is there to teach but the person from whom he can learn. Failure to learn on the part of the student is no loss...

...line-up which last Saturday defeated Cornell by its superior hitting and errorless fielding. C. A. Harrison, Occ., will serve on the mound while R. A. Lancaster '20 will continue behind the bat.

During the last two weeks, he has succeeded in developing a spit-ball which should carry him through any tight places today. Talcott will rely mainly on the use of a fast ball, fairly well controlled...
