...been a singularly fortunate class. She has made a record in the field of athletics which will probably not be beaten for years to come. Her crew has been victorious in two class races, and has never come in last, while at the same time she has put excellent men in the university boat. In general athletics and foot-ball she has done more than her fair share of the work, while her freshman nine, although unable to defeat Yale, made a good showing.

If not, let him go. The standard of work required is set by the capacity of the abnormally gifted or toughest student. Now the fact is that the mass of pupils in any school are not particularly clever nor physically strong. But they, too, have their...
