...There is no outstanding star end, like Miller, or backs such as Light, or Quigley, of last year's team, no all-around star like Berry, no speedster like Mercer and Minds, stars of recent years. If Heisman can build his attack around Strauss or Whitehill this year, and beat Dobie's Cornellians on Franklin Field late in November, he will be hailed as a wonder-worker by Penn alumni. Strauss will be remembered hereabouts as the man who ran wild against Dartmouth and virtually settled the outcome of the game in one of the set-tos at Fenway Park...
...Yard he finds them in company with regulations about carrying water from the common pump; use of kerosene lamps; and other subjects of historical interest. Wherever and whenever he reads them he is amused--by the prohibition of his mad desire to play ball in the Yard, or to beat upon drums; the designation of the days upon which he must remove his small stock (if any) of distilled liquors from his rooms; and the section which concerns itself with his morals...

...meet to honor those who in this place will meet no more. The guns are silent now; the drums have ceased to beat, the battle flags are furled, and men return to common toll. The martial fire has cooled; the harmony among the peoples that fought side by side fast fades away; the inspiration of the cause has been obscured. But a deeply precious thing remains--the memory of those who in the glowing spirit of self-sacrifice gave their lives for all that we hold dean. They died for naught if we forget that by their death they taught...
