...college began made it possible yesterday to organize four elevens and still have almost enough men to form another eleven left over. There is now an abundance of good material on Soldiers Field, but whether there is still enough time left to develop the men is an unanswerable question. Certain it is that had the season opened on September 21 with the list of candidates now on hand there would have been no doubt as to the outcome of the season.

They were done by persons sent out from the papers especially to cover the celebration. It is needless...
Fidelity to conviction is praiseworthy, but the conviction is sometimes very far from praiseworthy. Slavery and polygamy were convictions. Such monuments as Memorial Hall commemorate the valor and heroism that maintained certain principles-justice, order and liberty. So long, then, as there is a distinction between the principles of liberty and those of slavery, may this Memorial Hall stand for those who fought for liberty and not for those who fought for slavery...
