...influencing the discussion in their favor. In no fairer or more manly way could they arouse real and effective interest in Greek, than by placing before the public the treasures of Greek literature and letting them judge for themselves as to its merits. Such a manner of presenting the case gives an impression, not only of their own confidence in the strength of their cause, but of the real power of the cause itself. To see such enthusiasm in others, is to discover it in one's self...
...whole lacks that unity of purpose which so pre-eminently distinguishes our department of Greek, and by which alone all desirable results can be attained. If this is the true explanation, - if the matter is, that the Latin instructors, blameless individually, do not pull well together, - then the case is, indeed, lamentable. For it is the community at large, and not the professors, who are to decide whether Greek and Latin are to continue in their present prominent positions as studies: it is the public who are to act as judges; and woe to Latin or Greek...
...training than that of the past two years. The faults by which both the Princeton and Yale games were lost are such as may be corrected next year if attended to early in the season.

To draw the line still more sharply...
...understand that our Football Team has been disappointed twice this year by other teams refusing to play at the very last moment, after all arrangements had been made. The teams referred to are those of Montreal and Brown University. In the first case the Montreals telegraphed Friday afternoon that they would not be able to play the match arranged for the following day; in the second, Brown informed us at eleven o'clock of the day of the match that their team could not play us at the appointed time. When games are arranged for in this manner, and either...
