...This week a man died of starvation on Broadway, and the event drew the attention of all the newspapers. Yet, where one person dies of starvation like this there are thousands of people dying of slow and inconspicuous starvation. Professor Chapin, of Beloit College, after having made a study of three hundred families in New York, made the statement that a family of six must have an income of at least $800 each year in order to maintain the efficiency and health of its members. If a smaller income is received, that family may be said to be living...
...week later the University team played Brown, and won a hard-fought game, 12 to 0. The line showed decided weakness in this game, and the play, in general, was slow.

Perkins played centre, since the injury which he received day before yesterday was not as serious as was at first thought. H. C. Leslie was out in football clothes, but did no heavy work...
