...need go no deeper than what would be most useful in the ordinary contingencies of life, and to be successful should deal with such requirements only. This course could be taken as an extra, or, even if it were judged neccessary, restricted to election as such.

Luckily the game comes upon a Saturday afternoon, and the attendance of undergraduates, even though we are in the midst of the finals, will be undoubtedly large...
