...speech as rowdies in character as that celebrated speech of Peters of the Bones, wherein, in strangely mixed metaphor, he referred to the Harvard man as "a kid-gloved lamb." If, in order to beat Yale it will be necessary to adopt her general sentiments and her standards of conduct, we never want to win again. But is it not possible to raise our standard in athletics without lowering our social ideals, for we do not want to meddle with the social conditions here?

It should have come first and so prevented the disappointment we must feel on comparing the two. "The Message" is scarcely up to the usual standard of the Monthly, though it is a fair bit of verse, and, coming as it does from a new contributor, gives promise of better work in the future...
