...will fail. Still the method of instruction in some of our schools is woefully poor and it can be improved, though with difficulty fixed, for each year will bring a new improvement. The amount of time given to a study is another question which calls for discussion. It is certain that some studies receive more than is necessary, often with a corresponding insufficiency given other studies; but to a certain extent this question hangs upon the first. For, while certain subjects are essentially more important and require a greater proportion of time, if the method of instruction be effective...
These are some of the questions which the conferences are called upon to discuss, and it is certain that as the representatives are taken from all parts of the country the discussion will be broad a d based on varied experience. The result will be looked forward to with considerable interest...

He only knows whether...

The treatment which Gray and Brewer received particularly after making fair catches, was not only entirely unnecessary, but betrayed the aims by which the men in question hoped to help win the game. The way in which a certain Yale rusher, with no provocation whatever, kicked Upton in the head, causing an injury which eventually made him retire from the field, is not the kind of football that has characterized Harvard and Yale games in the past few years. It is with the deepest regret that one notices this...
