...wish to thank Professor Clemen in the name of the University and its students for two things: first, for the manner in which he has illustrated a great subject; and second, for the striking example he has given us of the 'professional style.' I mean the earnestness and elegance of his teaching. This is one of the great lessons we have learned from the visiting professors from Germany--the style as well as the substance of what they...
...demand can be ascertained in advance, are kept behind the Superintendent's desk and are handed out on request and for a limited time. Unless the other books can be protected from depredation by the cultivation of an unmistakable and executive public opinion against a mean and selfish use of them, we may as well send the books all back to their places in the bookstack and confess that a reading room with open shelves is a failure...

Today the 1911 football team plays its first home game of the season against the Exeter eleven, which is always one of the strongest football combinations that the preparatory schools turn out. A victory today should mean a great deal to every Freshman as an indication of what may be expected in the final game, toward the winning of which every effort is being directed. By its showing against the University team in practice, the Freshman eleven has given evidence of great possibilities, but the coaches and players cannot be expected to accomplish their task alone. The hearty support...
