Though it is impossible to evade the lessons taught by this condemnation, there is a deeper lesson that is not always seen; for Christ insists only upon one of two alternatives--good use of money or its complete abandonment. This fact reconciles many statements that at first appear contradictory. Wealth is not a danger to be avoided, but rather a trust to be used for the highest purposes...
...College instead of the present syntax and inflections. . . .

A number of former members are eligible, and in the fall practice nearly fifty men came out. The fall practice of six weeks taught these new men the rudiments of the game, so that they may take up the spring work intelligently and vigorously...
