...ninth place the year before, Exeter, Country Day School, Groton and St. Paul's School have shown a tendency to hold their respective places. Although one year's high rank may not be a certain measure of a school's efficiency, continued presence in the honor list must mean superior methods of teaching. Hence, although the winning school each year deserves the medal awarded to it, still more justice would be obtained by awarding two or three prizes for the highest score over a period of years...
Here is another fact we must face: The election is off the front page of the newspapers. Locally, Dr. William Ashley Sunday is already a superior feature; and toward the end of the week, for a while, even he will yield to football. Not even such illusive suspense as may be manufactured out of the close vote in California and New Mexico avails to keep uppermost in our minds the questions of national honor that we were all willing--or were we willing?--to die for two weeks ago. The human interest of football is unquestioned and unquestionable...
...Harte, did fine work on attack and defence. They were good, if not brilliant, on downfield work, and did acceptably, if not brilliantly, in protecting their wings.

Many salaries should be raised to keep distinguished professors at the university and deliver promising young men from the temptation of business offers far superior to their scanty pay. The library, the university press, various objects undertaken, or that ought to be $30,000,000. May Columbia get it, in large sums and in small, and on short notice! --New York Times...
Princeton's overconfidence in the first part of the game lost them, a field goal and it was Harvard's superior strategy that gained the winning three points in the second half. The contest was hard fought throughout, and gave the team many valuable lessons to aid them in vanquishing Yale on the twenty-fifth. Great credit is due the victorious team and once again Houghton is proved the greatest of all football coaches...
