...facts of life. Religious service can be carried on in a hundred different ways, and its rightful interpretation should be left to one's conscience. Modern life is essentially rational and men are judged by their achievements and not by catechisms, the only heathen being the selfish, for the test of Christianity is not what we have but what we do with what we have. There is little use in trying to reach an ultimate religious unity when we take into consideration the differences of environment, race and character between one man and another, and when all the latest theories...
With the present system of a three hour examination in February and in June there is the well-known tendency among many students to put off today whatever work can be done tomorrow or the day before the half-yearly test.

He writes in part as follows: "The football season of 1911 will go down in history as one of miracles. In fact, aside from the sudden transformation of teams from losing teams to victorious teams, and vice versa, even the ball finally began to take part in the extraordinary happenings, and on one day, namely, the day of the Princeton-Dartmouth and Andover-Exeter games, in each of which games the ball performed...
