Though it III becomes the student body thoughtlessly to find fault with measures--least of all those of economy--which the authorities have seen fit to adopt, yet in this particular case the final word of remonstrance seems hardly to have been spoken. That the libraries in question are exceptionally convenient and valuable for a small, but perhaps not entirely negligible group of men who are doing graduate work must be perfectly plain to everybody. That these men, since they are few, scarcely fill the the libraries every evening, does not prove that the opportunity of working there at that...
...learned the other day that it is common in newspaper offices to have what is called a "style book." This is a pamphlet containing not only the special technical rules for the preparation of copy for the particular journal, but also lists of words and phrases which are thought to have served their time and to have earned a rest. It occurs to me in reading the new issue of the Monthly that it might be of advantage if something of the sort were compiled for the contributors to the college papers. Generations of undergraduates replace one another so rapidly...
...team-play, the work of the University team could hardly be identified with what has passed for team-play previously this season. In that particular the improvement was great and genuine.

Preliminary practice began with the usual kicking and catching of punts, after which the coaches gave particular attention to coaching the men in tackling, and falling on the ball.

President Eliot was the first speaker. He said, in part, that the acquisition of power to work effectively was one of the great benefits of college life. A man should find out while in college just what his own particular work will be. This is the first great privilege of student life. A second is the chance to gain a broader outlook upon men and nature. A third privilege is the possibility of forming friendships, intellectual and spiritual, of life long duration. There ought to be a companionship of noble purpose...
