...forty-five yard line. It then seemed that Harvard could do no better than make a tie. On the next play, however, Kernan broke through a hole made by J. Lawrence and picking up his interference started for the goal. Devens, Daly, Barnard and Stillman all helped him along, and by shaking off one or two tacklers himself, he got past the whole Carlisle team for a touchdown. J. Lawrence kicked the goal...
...tribes live together in small villages along the coast, which are composed of houses, each shared by two families. The houses themselves are constructed of driftwood and are covered with a thick layer of turf to render them air-tight. The entrance to these houses is an underground tunnel about thirty feet in length, which finally emerges through the floor of the one room. The furniture consists of a sleeping bench about six feet wide running the length of one wall, and a few racks for hanging clothes. The only other things that could be called furniture are two soapstone...
...match in the tennis tournament yesterday, defeating S. H. Derby 2L., 6-4, 7-5, 2-6, 6-3. The match was well played throughout and was won by Laverack's steadiness at critical points.

Kendall and Kernan have also acquired the habit of considering the play over as soon as they are tackled and of not fighting their way along until actually stopped.

His work was rather weak, but his running back of punts was very creditable for a rainy day. In the line Campbell did the best...
Again by the adoption of attractive and easy methods of work, with a careful regard to individual trails, the attempt to make education less forbidding, carried too far has resulted in robbing education of much of its mental discipline. The children brought up "along the lines of least resistance" are most often the intellectually spoiled children, "flabby of mind and will." "Education should first and foremost train; and training had for its very substance the overcoming of obstacles; furthermore, every specialty is better mastered, better understood in its relation to human life and achievement, by the man who has worked...
