...demands a more liberal spirit. Yale's present system. I am free to say, is not in keeping with the university standard. The Yale man's average age is growing older year by year. I have been instructing here twenty years, and the average age of the men has grown two years in that time.

With Holden the change began and under Sears, Cumnock and Trafford our grasp of the game has grown firmer; and we venture to predict that it will now continue to grow till we are successful. It would be presumptuous to say that men of the past did not know the game, but the knowledge of each was distinct and came always from defeat. The present policy grasps the principles...
