...College papers are always filled with complaints about the required themes and forensics, now because they are too numerous, and again because they are too few; now because the subjects are too difficult, and again - but no, I don't remember that the subjects are ever criticised as being too easy...
...last Saturday was attended by a much larger number of spectators. The Princeton team was composed of unusually heavy men, whose kicking in the practice before the game made it plain that Harvard was to have a hard battle.
