...written examination will constitute the chief basis of award, other evidences of ability and attainments, displayed during the period during which it is held, will be duly considered. The examinations will take place at any college which the candidate chooses among the number of institutions which help to support this school. Upon the following subjects will be based the main part of the examinations: Modern Greek, The Elements of Greek Epigraphy, Introduction to Greek Archeology, Greek Architecture, Sculpture and Vases, Pausanias, and the Monuments and Typography of Ancient Athens...

We cannot allow last Saturday's defeat to discourage us however keenly we feel the sting which comes with it. But the University does feel that its support can be heartily given only when there is complete assurance that every man is doing his best. Mere reverses of fortune should never shake the strength of the support given to the team, but a loss of confidence may have that effect...
