...Saturday mornings the last period is reserved for the branch meetings of the "Y", when the Greek, Armenian, and Bulgarian Associations meet and hear addresses in the vernacular. It is easier to secure students to speak in these meetings where they speak their own language and are among their fellow-countrymen. Once a month the branch meetings are omitted and a Federation meeting is held, at which time a prominent speaker is secured and reports are read and business of interest to the entire membership is discussed...

Students are obliged to learn English and French as well as Turkish and Armenian or Arabic, but, with the exception of language lessons, practically all the class room work is conducted in the vernacular.

Theories relating to varying density of the water and consequent deviations in the buoyancy of the Yale shell have been advanced by Yale men, and there has been talk of shells...
...Harvard presented for consideration a great football eleven, a team which was perfect to the last detail. To borrow from the baseball vernacular, she had everything--rushing, forward-passing, good tackling, keen following of the ball, ability to hold the pigskin, mechanical precision, general football sense, and excellent punting. Haughton says it is the best Harvard eleven he ever coached. It resembled the Harvard team that met Cornell about as much as Yale resembled Harvard on Saturday, which is to say there was no resemblance. So far as Harvard was concerned, the Cornell game to her was what the Yale...
