...year's squad, H. W. Minot '17 from the second team, and several backs of unusual promise from the 1919 eleven, H. C. Flower, E. L. Casey, R. Bond and G. L. Batchelder.

...fundamental ideas have not won their way, particularly in America. His hero-theory and his opposition to democracy have fallen before the trend of the times. Nevertheless, his books still posses a fund of social and spiritual energy which well repays the modern student. Professor Perry indicates the approach to that source of energy.
