...Harvard alone in the movement. All the colleges are beginning to realize that, much as we need intercollegiate athletics, we need something more, in order to put athletics in general on a proper footing. Dr. Born, speaking for Yale, points out that the intercollegiate athlete is physically away ahead of the average student (a strong argument in itself for intercollegiate athletics), and that by more general participation the physical vigor of the whole student body will be increased. The Daily Princetonian, voicing the Princeton undergraduate sentiment, says: "We do not believe intercollegiate contests to be harmful, but rather a most...
...large amount of municipal business. In Galveston, Texas, the mayor, aldermen, and council are entirely replaced by a single body whose functions are wholly administrative. There are five men elected by the people, each with a department of the city's business under his supervision.

Possibly with more stimulating and less drugging of the senses, Chemistry 1 would not distribute each year its high proportion of wretched marks...
...because from the lower point of view it doesn't pay to be obsessed by the desire of wealth for wealth's sake. If more wealth is necessary for you, for purposes not your own, use your left hand to acquire it, but keep your right for your proper work in life. If you employ both arms in that game you will be in danger of stooping; in danger of losing your soul. But in spite of every thing you may succeed, you may be successful, you may acquire enormous wealth. In which case I warn you that you stand...
