...university of the western city of San Francisco. Of course, the cause for this small showing of Southerners here is the impoverished state of the South since the war. Only a wealthy region sends men to college. But, in view of the present growth of the South toward prosperity this cause should soon be operating less and less. In fact, we hear that the number of Southerners at Princeton is already beginning to approach the old ante bellum figures. We therefore hope soon to see a similar increase at Harvard. One way in which this event can be hastened...
...good courts seems almost too good to be true. All that the students as individuals are asked to do to bring about this state of affairs which they desire, is to meet the can vassers of the association half way in their appeal for money.

The opposing lines are then ten yards apart, with the snapper-back midway between them. This plan would prevent the players from remaining in contact while lining-out, would enable the ball to be passed more scientifically, and allow greater freedom in kicking. Where the ball...
...most carefully drawn pictures of the men who were distinguished in this field. But the study of the past does not blind this author to the demand of to day. The historical development of the last three centuries, he says, may be defined as a slow but steady progress toward the formation of a distinct modern culture, separating itself gradually from the ancient civilization out of which it grew. To day this modern society has reached its maturity. To Erasmus the ancients were models of living; even Goethe considered the Greeks as unattainable ideals of beauty and greatness...
