...gospel: "What new doctrine is this?" It has been thought by a great many people that the doctrines of Christianity are new, but much that is noble is to be found in other religions.

In certain respects Christianity may be considered a new doctrine, but in its fundamental principles, in its thought and feelings, it is as old as creation.

...From the tone of the declaration it seems extremely probable that Yale will also refuse to row Pennsylvania, basing her refusal on the latter's action in regard to the freshman race last June.

Though the name of Linn of the Harvard nine was not mentioned, he has seen fit to deny that overtures were made by him. Under the existing circumstances, therefore, it seems desirable to state the existing basis of the statement in the papers. Inducements of the character mentioned- a scholarship and pecuniary compensation...
...conclusion it seems that either there was a deliberate attempt made by certain persons to throw discredit upon Harvard by concocting this story-or if there be any truth in Mr. Ammerman's statement that he was made such an offer (in its nature hardly flattering to himself). in the light of the evidence on the subject it would seem more probable that the tempter was an imposter making these advances under the guise of a Harvard man, with the deliberate purpose of subsequently making capital therefrom, than that Harvard athletics were responsible...
