...Concord yesterday afternoon by the score of 6 to 0. On Harvard's 10-yard line Meyer passed the ball over Minot's head on a kick formation. Lee broke through, recovered the ball for Middlesex, and ran the short distance necessary for a touchdown. Both teams were weak on the offence. Brown, Holbrook, and Jenckes played well for the Freshmen...
...drop-kick was perfect, the ball going over the bar from the 31-yard line; but in the backfield both he and Frothingham misjudged and fumbled very badly, losing, in this way, all the advantage which Minot's kicking gave to Harvard. The West Point team was distinctly weak, the line could not hold, though every man fought hard.

At the same time they ought to be trained to hard and accurate thought, and this will not come merely by surveying the elementary principles of many objects. It requires a mastery of something, acquired by continuous application. Every student ought to know in some subject what the ultimate sources of opinion are, and how they are handled by those...
