...first element in Yale life is a certain large minded and fair minded love of truth. Lux et veritas is our motto. But in the search after truth there are two tendencies. The seeker for fight, who finds a form of thinking handed down by the fathers, may accept it because of its very antiquity. Progress is the law of the world, let me be free from prejudices of old ideas. These tendencies are inharmonious. But the fair and large-minded man lies between these two. The man who follows that is a creature of hope and remembrance. He does...
...book in Natural History 2 which is missing. It is impossible for members of that course to get any adequate idea of the subject, which is being passed over with great rapidity, without constant references to the text-book on zoology by Claus. We have been informed that careful search on the shelves and on the desks of the reading-room, fails to bring the much needed book to light.

The main part of the hounds, including the Master, started in the direction of Somerville...
...that or the other direction - 150 miles it may be - in order to "support" the home team on a distant field. In the case of the boat races, exhortation is necessary, but the result is the same. A greater or less number of students abandon their proper pursuits in search of excitement which is unwholesome per se, and add to their car fares and hotel bills the price of amusement, licit or illicit, during the nights they spend in a strange city away from their usual resources and their usual restraints. That in many cases the "visiting student's" purse...
