...method of presentation, is not given as great consideration as argument, its importance is always recognized in the selection of judges chosen to pick a team to represent the University. Upon every such board of judges is one who is an authority on platform sheaking.

The common trait of the best University debaters of the past has been a faculty of combining with solidity of argument an objective style of delivery--the faculty of talking to an audience rather than...
Both scores in the first half were made in a sensational manner. Soon after the double exchange of punts which followed Bowdoin's kick-off, Leatherbee secured the ball for Harvard on a fumble on Bowdoin's 38-yard line.

The "Corporation has some of the prerogatives of sovereignty; it possesses...
...doing a cash business of the most stable character, and enjoying the unlimited confidence of the business men with whom it has to deal. During the past four years its annual business has increased by $100,000, and it is now carrying out its purposes in a most satisfactory manner. Something more, therefore, than a vague charge of "looseness of organization" is necessary before the institution is forever laid aside. It is easy to make indefinite and unsubstantiated charges, but we must not overlook the fact that the Society has as a "co-operative" society accumulated a large capital, built...
