...contest with Princeton last Saturday, and the weakness in shooting has been especially noticeable in the practice scrimmages during the first part of the week. Time and again the forwards have lost chances to score by not getting their shots off with any degree of speed or accuracy. This fault, however, as well as a slight let-up in speed and all-around playing, has been due in large measure to the warm weather, which has not only made the ice soft and sticky, but has taken much life out of the air in the Arena: Cold, snappy weather would...
...team resulted in a victory for the University hockey seven in practice at the Arena yesterday afternoon by the score of 4 goals to 2. The playing was fairly fast but somewhat ragged, and a good deal of offside play passed by unnoticed. The most evident fault was the old weakness in shooting, but this was in large measure due yesterday to the somewhat sticky condition of the ice, which prevented the puck from lying flat and sliding smoothly. Percy scored first, and Thacher scored soon afterwards on a short shot when Baker passed the puck directly in front...

Yet those editors of this periodical who have taken History 1 in the University should know that if Gallipoli and Saloniki are unknown to students it is not the fault of the course. It is true that the earnest student is so swamped with work in learning what men have written in the past that he must largely defer until graduation the pleasanter task of reading what they are writing now. Even so, he grows while in college; and the senior usually...
...inexcusable. But it is too easy in the traditional way to blame the doctor for the condition of the patient. Unfortunately the Faculty cannot pursue the student to his study and guide his mental habits at all times. To jump at the conclusion that it is the instructor fault if history is not learned is more facile than profound...
