...determined to get it, and is regardless of the expense and labor involved. If one proposes to do so, it is important that he should make a judicious selection of the rifle on which he is to rely; and on that selection will depend, to a certain extent, the enjoyment and profit of the trip. A person who has never had any experience cannot realize the importance of having a rifle that suits him exactly. And as it is very annoying for one to find out that he does not like his gun when he is in the woods...
...full courses nominally involve an equal amount of work, and a certain per cent. in one course is supposed to represent the same excellence as that indicated by the same per cent. in any other course. If this were realized in fact, then students at Harvard would be likely to select those courses which would give them the most benefit.

Although the Yale nine will have a certain advantage in playing on their own grounds and in the presence of their own friends, the college expects that our freshmen will play a game of which the class can find no reason to be ashamed. As a large crowd of enthusiastic supporters will accompany the nine, and as we believe from the records of the two nines that our freshmen play a better game than their opponents, we hope that the success for which they have earnestly worked...
