...taking men of the latter generation, and recognising the conspicuous rather than the eminent as a basis for judgment, the college men are Parkman, Warner, Lodge, Fiske, various Adamses, Hale, Higginson, White, Story, Cranch, Scudder, Leland, DeForest, Curtis, Norton, J. F. Clarke, Ripley; Stedman offsets Bryant as coming between the two classes. Of non-college men a larger number may readily be named, Walt, Whitman, Whipple, Trowbridge, Fields, Parton, Stoddard, Bayard Taylor, Eggleston, Harte, Howells, James, Aldrich, Lathrop, Stockton, Piatt, Cable, Crawford, Fawcett, Gilder, Harris, Carleton, Mark Twain, Burroughs. It is possible that some name has been...

He may improve...
Some comment has been made upon the freshman game at Southboro which may lead the freshmen to feel their position with reference to foot-ball rather desperate. Nothing has been more familiar in past years than for our freshman foot-ball elevens and base-ball nines to encounter defeat at the outset. How familiar to us have grown such phrases as "freshmen rattled," "wretched game," "decided brace," etc. It is the custom for freshman teams to feel defeat. They need it. But to draw too hopeless a conclusion from defeat is not the means to accomplish a necessary...
