...death. In every life there is a peculiar temptation. The banker, the minister, the man with a vigorous body, every one has a peculiar temptation favored by the circumstances of his life. The stronger and richer the life, the stronger is the temptation. That it is natural or rather inevitable to the life is no excuse but rather a reason for special effort against it. If a man fights bravely and at last successfully against his temptation it may in reality become to him a tree of life, for the strength gained in fighting the temptation he might without...
...light weight told against him whenever he was tackled. Dunlop was sent through the centre for short gains. Wrenn played a quick, sharp game at quarter and made a very pretty catch of a high punt.

He ended by urging the students to take advantage of this opportunity for receiving...
...held in some quarters that to mention such a subject as "Bloody Monday Night" can only result in creating more disturbance rather than less. This sort of superficially smart wisdom we do not believe in. We believe that men who are old enough to be in Harvard are old enough to be sensible, and that they are not debarred from using their sense on subjects which have an element of excitement in them. There are good, strong reasons why there should be no disturbance tonight, and these reasons, we feel, can be brought to notice to advantage...
