...river Thames, some twenty miles from London, right opposite the town of Windsor, lies Eton, or rather the school, which gives its name to the few surrounding hamlets. The school was founded as early as 1441, by Henry the Sixth, and has ever since come under the care and personal supervision of the monarchs of England, who frequently were visitors on account of the nearness of the school to Windsor Castle. From a paltry hundred, including masters and fellows, the attendance has now increased to 850 scholars alone, and the roll of instructors equals many a small college...
...held this spring. "this should be called the prince of cinder paths, and we will explainwhy. It is a quarter mile in circuit, and down one side runs a 220-yard straightway.

His chief fault is "Monkeying with the ball" before picking it up. The fielders are playing rather a loose game and do not support each other enough. Roundy is effective in covering...
...morality. College sports today, as represented by the sentiment of undergraduates, mean manliness and fair play. The qualities of judgment, decision, coolness in the midst of excitement, and self-reliance, are developed. The value of discipline is learned by those who become members of teams, and all learn to care for their health. People who live in college towns will testify that with the increase in athletic sports there has been a decrease in the number of student escapades which disturb the peace and injure the property of their victims. Has it ever been charged that the average of scholarship...
