...adorn the highest attainment, he labored steadily onward, never courting prominence or notoriety, but at the same time deeply grateful for the many testimonies of admiration and respect from the world of scholars which poured in upon him in increasing numbers during the past ten years. His last illness, though prolonged, was mercifully almost painless, and it was eminently characteristic of him that up to the very last he found his most congenial occupation in correcting and preparing for the press the work of another--the doctoral dissertation of a recent graduate of the University who had been...
...cannot be denied that the spirit of this rule is almost never complied with in football games, though the audible coaching of players is a rare occurrence. When every substitute who is sent into a game bears a message to the team, and when, as sometimes is the case, the only reason for a change of players is the opportunity for giving instructions to the quarterback, there is a very evident departure from the intent of the rule. Frequently, too, instructions are given as in baseball by the position of a coach or player on the bench. Given two teams...
...article, with many pictures and diagrams, in which they describe the development of the teams of Harvard and Yale, and draw an instructive comparison. Mr. O. R. Diehl and Mr. G. Henderson compare the number of men in the various colleges who may play football, they point out that though Harvard contains over seven hundred more students than Yale, the latter has an advantage of about one thousand in eligibles. Mr. P. J. Stearns discusses again Dr. Nichols's reports on injuries from football and draws the usual deduction in favor of the new game. Mr. Sammons argues...
...verse is very much better.

Mr. Pulsifer's "The Riderless Horse" presents a striking idea with effective brevity, the difficult verse-form is fairly well handled, and the phrasing is at times admirable. The same writer's "Third Down," however, suffers from its close resemblance to four lines of Browning's "Meeting...
...Harvard players Minot, Captain Fish, Corbett and Wigglesworth seemed to be the most brilliant. Minot's punting was very consistent, though the wind affected it somewhat during the first half his line plunging and defensive work was of a very high standard. Captain Fish was marvellous on the defence; he seemed to be all over the field making a great many tackles in the open. Corbett, by his runs outside of tackle, gained many yards. He ran hard dodged well, and was always following the ball. The two Withingtons, Fisher and McKay formed a line through which Yale made...
