...story I heard the other day about a trial out in New Jersey. This fellow was up on a charge of selling beer. The defense was that it wasn't more than one half percent and they'd leave it to the jury to decide. The jury took the whole batch of beer, about 50 bottles or so into the jury room. About three hours later they came out well plastered, and damned if they didn't render a decision of guilty."

...whole I believe that Harvard would find little of profit to be gleaned from the Cambridge system of handling varsity athletics. It would undeniably be of advantage to the Harvard Athletic Association if it could persuade coaches to serve without pay, but otherwise there would be no point in taking any of the leaves but of the English coaching book.

...money for the erection of this structure has been collected, it would be well to know where the building is to be placed. Also at this time it would be wise to divulge something of the features of this chapel and what is to become of Appleton. The whole affair seems to be shrouded in an air of mystery as if there were some unpleasant details which would not be favorable for publication. Rather than attempt to hide this from the undergraduates, it would be better to announce the facts so that they might at least express their opinion...
