...fault as a rule lies more with the men who are responsible for the appointment than the man himself. It is praiseworthy to desire an active part in the affairs in which one is interested; it is unfortunate when a man is obliged to take more on his shoulders than he should attempt because other freer men will not. What is the remedy? Make sure that the man appointed is not already burdened with more than he can carry. Strive to bring out more men in each class available for offices by a wider selection of committees and the like...
...light waves--of verse, stories, and the occasional essay. If the old Advocate was a bit ponderous, the new Advocate--is it my years?--seems to me not quite heavy enough. But when I come to examine the component parts of this issue, there are really no serious faults to find--no faults, I am sure, of which the editors themselves are not perfectly well aware.

Mr. Harrison, who was our next President, was a clear-minded, clever lawyer, but narrow and bigoted in religious matters. Mr. Wise first met William McKinley in Congress.

In Brown, Cutting and Houston, they have very able substitutes. The tackles, Fish and MacKay, are generally conceded to be two as good linemen as Harvard has had in some time. They are both excellent on the defense, and Fish's work not only in the line, but in catching forward passes, stands out above the rest of the team...
...right guard, is a hard worker and is especially effective in helping dragging the runner along. He still lacks skill in the finer points of the game and is not yet able to use his strength to full advantage. He is fast on his feet but has the fault of charging too high. He is especially good on the defense...
