...Chris tianity. His is a cold, impersonal pantheism, revelling in contradictions, tolerating all forms of religion and even no religion at all; but refusing to tolerate anything which conflicts with his caste system. With a marvillous faculty of imagination and beauty of thought, the Hindoo compbines vices of the worst kind. As Macaulay says, with the Hindoo "emblems of vice are emblems of worship." He needs Christianity to teach him purity, the dignity of human nature, and the need of helping others...
...struck me as but little short of ludicrous is the seriousness with which the whole affair has been taken. I can imagine nothing more gratifying to those who played the trick than to see students and instructors gravely discussing the moral aspects of an affair, which, when the worst has been granted, is nothing but a "Freshman trick."

Swain and Mills did good work in the line. Swain was used to great advantage as a ground gainer; he was active in breaking through and opened large holes for his backs. His playing throughout was very aggressive and sharp, and was by far the best work done by the first eleven. Sawin made several good runs...
