...other people. Really all he has done is to succeed in coming back to the natural state of things. He looks at the idea of universal brotherhood as the crown of his civilization but it is the base of all true civilization. Our ways of teaching are to blame for the wrong ideas that we have of the distinctions between men. The first thing we learn in geography is that we are civilized and that many of the other races are barbarians whom we are indeed to pity but not to regard as brothers. A good school in which...
...must, however, be borne in mind that the whole game yesterday was played with reference to the second eleven. Twelve men, three of them halfbacks, were played, and all the coaches except Stewart and Harding, gave them their attention. Praise was given to the second, blame to the first.

...game of baseball in case the first two should result in a tie. This practically puts an end to all correspondence, and we are in a fair way to have last year's experiences repeated a season with the championship undecided. It is useless for Yale to lay the blame of this upon Harvard. By her own persistent, uncompromising spirit she has refused not only to consider Harvard's first proposition to play the tie game after the other two, but she has curtly declined to leave the matter to an impartial judge...
