...President's condition. He was a man of great ability, with a thorough knowledge of the duties of this office. Grover Cleveland was a Democrat whose power lay in his conservatism. Whatever he did, he took the consequences for. Mr. Harrison, who was our next President, was a clear-minded, clever lawyer, but narrow and bigoted in religious matters. Mr. Wise first met William McKinley in Congress. His chief fault was his inability to free himself from the influences about him. The rise of President Roosevelt to power has been entirely due to his aggressiveness. Mr. Wise's acquaintance with...

Burr got off some long spirals of fifty yards and more...
...form and procedure, and the development of a Freshman team to meet the Yale freshmen must be considered. Still, a fair proportion of the meetings should be devoted to open discussion of topics which interest not only debaters, but scholars, athletes, and everyone else. This arrangement gives practice in clear thinking and speaking to a large number who have neither time nor inclination to go in for strictly academic debating, and makes the club of much more vital importance...
