...Brooks was the preacher of the afternoon. He read a portion of the twenty-fifth chapter of Matthew. He spoke of the simplicity with which the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem is here described, and said that in that very simple city there are many lessons for us. He dwelt particularly upon the second verse of the chapter. It illustrated the need of the greatest things of this world for the least, of the highest for the lowest. The most insignificant things become essential when there is a demand for them. So in life, there is a place...

...nine has truly had a triumphal progress on their recent trip, and the college, by the enthusiastic welcome it gave them on their return last evening, showed their full appreciation of the work that had been done. It is most gratifying once again after our tribulations in the past, to see the championship almost within our grasp. Only now let the nine keep on with their present steady game and not become over-confident, that fault which has proved fatal to Harvard's success so often in former years. The successive defeats of our most formidable opponents have inspired...
