...kind of ability which the University needs most to encourage. At the same time a warning is in order. The test they have passed is only preliminary. The work of scholarship in a university is of a different, more exacting, and at the same time more interesting sort than that of a preparatory school. And ability to cram for entrance examinations and pass them is no proof of the vision and depth which is needed for scholarship of the higher sort. These men have given some indication that they possess the power of application. That application plus penetration...
Princeton, N. J., Oct. 19, 1915.--Dean McClenahan, chairman of the board of athletic control, in a statement issued tonight declares that Princeton made no protest of any sort concerning the five men whom Yale has declared ineligible.

...Harvard's four touchdowns were of the same order as that which won the M. A.

The Indians seemed to find holes in the line at will, and it is difficult...
Yale will have to play much better football than was shown against Virginia, if Lehigh is to be easily defeated. Captain Wilson will probably not start the game as he was overstrained in last week's encounter, and has been doing the lightest sort of work since then.

However this is offset by the return of Black and Betts, both line-men. The former was the Captain and star of last year's freshman...
...desire of instructors to get themselves over to the students, in spite of real effort to break down the 'class-consciousness' of teacher and student, the gulf between their attitudes is too fundamental to be easily bridged. Unless it is bridged, however, the undergraduate is left in a sort of Peter Pan condition, looking back to his schoolboy life and carrying along his schoolboy interests with him, instead of anticipating his graduate or professional study or his active life. What should be an introduction to professional or business life in a world of urgent political and social issues...
