...There is little doubt that the relation of offence to defence in football this season will receive serious consideration by those who follow the game closely. There can be no denial that in the past few years the game from the standpoint of offence has developed, while the defence has stood still, if indeed it has not deteriorated. It is a delicate matter, this balanacing of power of attack and strength of resistance. Some will hold that the ideal relation has never been attained. There have been epochs which have seen a practically impregnable defence, due to stringent regulater, this...
...last spring production was, from this standpoint, distinctly a success. Undergraduate coaching was an innovation worth making. But still more encouraging was the fact that one of the plays was written by a student in the college. In the last few years undergraduate plays have been extremely rare. The sub-Bakerite students have been able to design scenery, to fix electric lights, to sell tickets, to set stages, and to act. Now they even find themselves able to direct productions.

The economic resources of the Philippine Islands are as yet largely undeveloped. Their revenues are small and for this reason would have difficulty in maintaining their independence if granted
...always difficult, and the result proportionately unsatisfactory. What comments can be passed on a picture of the track squad, however interesting, save that it bears an extraordinary resemblance to the track squad? Articles on undergraduate theatricals or baseball prospects, however interesting, could not be fairly discussed from a literary standpoint, which is after all the only possible standpoint for a critical review. The stock review published in the humorous number of the Illustrated, while justly satirical, points out at the same time the difficulties of the reviewer...
