...Freshmen. The contest should prove a close one. The Freshman team is probably the stronger of the two, but it must contend against the inherent prestige of the upper class, and the greater experience of the Junior players. The 1901 eleven will therefore hardly do itself justice without the moral support of a friendly crowd back of it. The Freshman class will do well to bear in mind then that the place for them this afternoon is Soldiers Field. They are represented by a strong team and if they can supply their players with that useful measure of self-confidence...
...solid, visible. Every man here has an influence and is responsible for it. During the last twenty years there has been a tendency to magnify the savage virtues, really destructive to the mental as well as to the physical powers and not essential to true manliness.

It is said that the tone is low because that is what the people want; but this excuse would justify any crime, from the Crucifixion to the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. The voice of the people is the voice of God only when it accords with the conscience of a good man, and those who preach divorce between business and righteousness are not friends of the republic...
