Professor G. L. Kittredge spoke informally at the meeting of the Christian Association last evening, on the Heathen Scandinavian's Idea of a Man. He referred to the Scandinavian of the year 1000, about the date that Iceland was converted to Christianity. We are very apt to think of the man of that time as entirely different from the man of today; on careful study, however, we find the similarity of his nature to our own is really remarkable...
...hardly knows what to think of Saturday's game between Yale and the University of Pennsylvania. It rather overthrows all ones calculations.

The chief faults of the backs are, first, a tendency to get separated when running, so that all interference is lost, and, second, weakness in defensive play, especially in tackling. In fact the whole team shows...

The present management of the association have shown that they think the chances of those who have not yet entered college ought not to be so great as those of the men who have been in college a year and who have not got into the hall. For this new arrangement practically says that men now in college can apply...
