This presents a problem for the coaches and the team which is hard to overestimate. To be deprived of a linesman of three years experience, whose kicking alone, measured in terms of ground gained, is invaluable, and in addition, a real leader and captain--it is hard to imagine a more serious blow. The two games in the coming fortnight will test Harvard's strength to the limit, and with Burr out of the line-up it will be doubly hard. It is hoped that he will be able to play the Yale game, at least for part...

...work their way without losing the best fruits of college life, and that for some men the necessity of supporting themselves is a wholesome discipline. And what counsel has the writer to give those who must work in order to get a college education?
