We feel confident that the men who are to represent the crimson upon river and field will do all that can be done to embellish our trophy room, which, to tell the plain truth, has not in recent years been overcrowded with the colors of victorious teams...

Slowly the note-book is placed open on the table, a pencil is drawn out, and work is begun. I watch my friend closely; he works slowly, but deliberately, and soon, raising myself a little, I see, not a page of carefully written notes, but a wonderfully life-like portrait of the "man in the box," mouth open and hand raised.
