What a splendid thing it is to be endowed with a fertile imagination! There are those men in our society who can imagine almost anything there is a call for. They can turn their attention from one thing to another with equal facility and grace and imagine almost anything one might wish. They can close their eyes and see images or facts so clearly that on opening them they are morally convinced that what they have seen is true. It was an individual on this order that imagined the "authoritative statement that Coach Haughton had consented to serve for several...
...Student Council's notice on another page can mean only one thing. There is no excuse and little necessity for men staying away from Cambridge over Monday after the Yale game. The game will be over by four o'clock Saturday afternoon and it is reasonable to assume that men can get back in time to attend their lectures and recitations on Monday.

If these suggestions are carried out all will go well with the parade...
Another admirable thing about him was his cordial hospitality to students at his house, and his sympathy with them when they were in academic trouble. When you went to him, you felt that here was a man who might have done, when he was young, just such things as you had done (unless they were pretty bad), and that whether he had ever done them or not, you would meet in him a human being and not a bureaucrat. It was not that he could always save you or wished always to save you from academic penalties...
