...undergraduates seem to differ. It is perhaps desirable, as the faculty appear to wish, to lessen the element of competition. But can the faculty do this and at the same time accomplish what is generally accepted as their aim, viz.: promote athletic interests, or perhaps, rather, to save them? Is there not a direct opposition in the two ideas, lower the competitive element, and support the interests of athletics? It has always seemed to me that competition is the very coundation upon which all athletics rest. Any thrust which diminishes competition will diminish in exact ratio the amount of interest...
...night's work. This is too little, and by an hour's study after returning to his room the student loses most of the benefit of his exercise. The expense of keeping the gymnasium lighted and heated an hour longer could not be much; it seems a pity to save money in such a way.

It is a heritage from the old idea that to become a good merchant a boy must not go to college, but begin by sweeping...
...have an indefinite idea of the location of the ladders, and doubtless one or two might be put into position in time enough to save a few men from a burning dormitory, but in all sudden alarms there is of necessity a great deal of excitement and confusion, and "what is everybody's business is nobody's business." Now a trained and efficient life-saving service might be organized if the men of each building should select some one to take command of their body in case of fire, and on an alarm, should assemble at the place where...
