...learn that they were wrong; let us take care lest posterity judge of us as we judge of the Age of Darkness. Then some humans were mentally favored beyond their contemporaries, and preached ideas realized only much later; whatever of folly was proposed by them lost its bearing and fell away, but whatever of good was championed by them has survived and has pushed man on in his development. If these Reds have aught to say let them speak, for if there is substance in their views, it will out anyway, but if their leaders are false prophets their curses...
...they used them and studied also how the men stood and whether their statics proved satisfactory from a mechanical point of view. This year only 0.97 per cent. of the Freshmen were grouped in Class A as having a good mechanical use of the body; 14.8 per cent. fell in Class B as being fairly good in this respect; 49.3 per cent. were put in Class C as being less satisfactory; 34.8 per cent. were placed in Class D; all the members of this class were considered to use their bodies very badly...

...Tufts held the University players scoreless, but after Felton had kicked a field goal late in the third period, the points piled up rapidly. Several times during the first half the Medford team seemed to menace the Harvard goal and twice Thornton attempted a field goal, but the ball fell short both times. For the University A. Horween played a terrific, driving game, while Church made some clever end runs which more than once took the pigskin within striking distance of the goal, and enabled Horween or Nelson to push it across...
