Usage:

When we re-read books which interested us intensely a long time ago, we learn the origin of many of our "peculiar and original" ideas and prejudices. We, furthermore, realize the strong influence an absorbing book has on character and how dangerous it would be to ourselves, to the community and to the world at large, if we read the biographies of library vandals, ticket scalpers and horse thieves. --The Pennsylanian...

...belief that many of the perplexing and disagreeable problems of eligibility take their origin from this multiplication of expensive coaching staffs, and extravagant paraphernalia. It is impossible to devise or fully enforce eligibility rules which will cover all cases of so-called professionalism unless there is a high spirit of honor among the candidates for teams. This spirit cannot be best fostered in an atmosphere of lavish expenditure, now considered necessary, owing to the nature of the rivalry above referred to. We should like to see Yale, in the near future, inaugurate a system of restraint upon such expenditures...
