Errors were countless, but in nearly every case they were excusable, if not unavoidable. Mr. Brooks, '87, officiated as referee, and performed the duties of the position in a manner highly acceptable to both teams and to the spectators. The elevens were substantially the same as in the former games of the series...
...dailies. In fact this method of appealing to the lower classes, to those who hunger for excitement and glory in high colored descriptions, has outgrown respectable limits.

This comparison of the styles of others, and possibly of better writers than oneself might be obtained by distributing the themes in the same manner as at present. Whoever is at all interested in his work in English would not grudge the time necessary to read the theme as it would take little more than five minutes. He would then be spared the trouble of writing a criticism which inevitably takes up more than the half hour which...
