...should roll the stone away from the well of knowledge, he said, and give the world the benefit of it. Young men at Harvard, in my opinion the greatest University in this country, have exceptional advantages. They have it in their power by leading true Christian lives to do a great deal of good. But it is necessary to love Christ not to profess him. In this age it is not enough to argue with men who do not believe in Christ. We must set them the example, and there is no better way to show them...
...candidates for the Cornell crew have been reduced to the following men: Witherbee 152, Marsten 185, Benedict 166, Barr 160, Wolf 170, Griffith 175, Kelley 160, Young 168, Hill 185. Witherbee, the stroke of last year's victorious freshmen eight, will probably stroke the crew. Embick, the coxswain of last year, will be succeeded by Allen, the coxswain of the freshman crew, who weighs but eighty pounds...

Granted, however, that these young men have faith, have they the courage of their convictions? To be a christian does not require much courage, one may say. No, if we mean by christian the conventional kind; but for a man to devote himself body and soul to the service of Christ does require courage. Let men who are afraid to stand up for christianity remember the great men who in the past have been proud to call themselves christians...
...Cornell boating management is showing great energy, and already the crew is practically chosen. Eight of the following nine men will row in the boat: Benedict, '91, Marston, '92, Wolfe, '92, Hill, '93, Witherbee, '93, Barr, '93, Kelley, '93, Griffith, L. S., and Young, '93. Benedict, Wolfe, Hill, and Marston are last year's men, and will probably row at their old places, namely, 2, 3, 4 and 5. The most marked fault of the crew is its light weight...
