...freshman or a senior, and it is one of the characteristics of the place that ability will be recognized no matter where it may be found. The false modesty which keeps a man hidden within himself doubtless effects every organization in college. There is probably much undiscovered talent in athletics, though here the chances of discovery from without are great. There must be much more undiscovered talent in literary and musical, ways for here it cannot be exposed by any other than its possessor. Freshmen should feel that, if they have good voices, they will have as good a chance...
...triangular race a week later and there is no danger but that the Columbia men will row their best and try to win, as they are plucky and have eight days in which to recuperate.

The new Union will, if carried out on sound principles, be a society to which it will...
...believe it is better for the interest of public speaking to have one society which shall contain all the best speakers in the university than for the speakers, who really have a common interest to be divided against themselves. In other words, there is a certain amount of speaking talent here; one society containing it all must be stronger than either of two societies each of which could contain only a fraction of that talent. Furthermore between two societies there would be likely to spring up ill-feeling and disputes which would make the university weary of all speakers...
