...monuments are not to be judged by the same standard as for instance, the Parthenon frieze. They are probably the work of mere craftsmen. Many, nevertheless, possess great beauty, though they vary much among themselves. It has been suggested that they were kept in stock, but there is no proof of this theory, and the fact that the figures are evidently intended to represent particular persons militates strongly against...
...Princeton will accept the standard now proposed by Harvard, nothing has been done as yet to prevent games with her in the future; if, however, as now seems most probable, she insists in imputing false motives to us and in refusing to help raise the tone of college athletics we shall be justified in refusing to compete again with her.

The necessary stimulus would be supplied if some of the friends of the organization would procure invitations for it to play in neighboring cities. The Glee club has many invitations very winter and undoubtedly the Pierian could get some of the same kind if slight efforts were made by students living...
