...contact with him. One of his most marked traits was a ready sympathy that served as in the case of Phillips Brooks to hide the deep reserve of his inner nature. Dr. Everett was not a great administrator nor an organizer of especial ability, but it was in his power to reach heights of thought and inspiration to which ordinary men cannot attain. The ease with which he treated the most profound subjects showed how thoroughly he was at home where others scarcely dared to come...
...their own or their opponents. There is too much easy-going spirit shown which will mean certain defeat unless eradicated. The team seems to expect some one else to do its brain work for it, and is constantly caught napping on a point of rules. The team has the power to make a creditable showing if it will have some determination to correct its own faults and work together...

On the defense Yale was very strong and repeatedly forced West Point to punt, but the offensive work, though brilliant at times, was uneven, and some losses were sustained through slow starting.

Holding in the line and offside play were frequent on both sides, and both teams were penalized repeatedly...

Child, and "Vanitas Vanitatum," by F. M. Class, are both well told, the former with some descriptive power, the latter with a good insight into the characters which it contains. By far the most original story, however, is "The Bluff of Rogers," by R. W. Ruhl. It is full of a droll humor that lightens what would otherwise be a rather sombre tale, and besides some admirable touches...
