...long as there are proctors in the examination-room there will always be a certain number of morally or mentally incapable men who will maintain that they have a perfect right to cheat if the proctor does not see them. The proctor is there to keep them from cheating, but if he is not quick enough to stop them they have used a legitimate right, they say. If the honor system were instituted at Harvard it would immediately change the present individual feeling against dishonesty, to an irresistible public spirit against it, as it has at Princeton and Williams...
Without maintaining that the Chapel is perfect in every respect or that the student attendance is as large as it should be (certainly, too few men go regularly on week-day mornings), we believe that the Advocate's indictment is more severe than the facts of the case warrant. For example, the attendance figures for last year show an average on Sunday morning of 171 students and 168 others; a total of 339. This year the average has been: students, 265; others, 290; a total of 555. Apparently, then, the Chapel is not a decaying institution as far as attendance...
There is no unnecessary roughness in soccer for cleverness depends not on butting into one another but upon taking the ball away from an opponent with the least bodily contact.

Agility, however, is indispensable, for the ball is propelled by every part of the body, except the arms and hands, which makes skillful use of the head and of both feet necessary.

...restore the competition of the old days, but nobody thinks that possible and very few think it is desirable. The correct policy to pursue is to put competition under reasonable regulation. The question which confronts the United States today is merely this: shall we try to work back towards perfect competition, or shall we accept the other alternative and regulate competition and confront the problem of fixing prices for all the most important commodities in the same manner as railroad rates, gas rates, and the like...
This spring there will be constructed the first of a group of six buildings which when completed will be devoted to research and instruction in chemistry. This group is designed to be more perfect in equipment than any in this country and to approach the excellency of many of those in Germany, the country which leads the world in the study of the science of chemistry. The site of these buildings will have a front of 300 feet on the west side of Divinity avenue, and will extend westward towards Oxford street for about 400 feet...
