...moral advance on the present method of proctor supervision. The reason that it has not been universally adopted is because many consider it too Utopian an advance, too impracticable for the present state of undergraduate morals; it is, say its opponents, a system which puts too much strain on the student; the average man is not yet fit to bear the responsibility. Still, they admit its value in theory. Therefore, being, as it is, an advance on an ancient and artificial scheme to prevent cheating, it should immediately recommend itself to the less conservative and more progressive elements at Harvard...
...four, weeks before the Yale race. The new plan has the unqualified advantage of allowing Coach Wray to make the Cornell contest an end in itself.

There are three great tragic armies of working girls; those who, because of insufficient wage and excessive work, fall early victims to tuberculosis; those who, due to the strain of long hours, are succumbing to nervous prostration; and those who, because of worrying on the problem of mere existence, yield to melancholia...

As a training-school for distance men, cross-country running plays an important part in promoting the success of the track team. This may perhaps be emphasized by the fact that in the seven years from 1902 to 1908, Cornell won the intercollegiate run each year and placed 21 men in the mile and two-mile races of the intercollegiate...
