...good condition after Saturday's game. Everyone, except O'Flaherty and McKay, who were given a lay-off, was on the field. Long and G. G. Browne who were injured in the Brown game are doing very well, and Browne is not as badly hurt as at first thought. Leslie, Dunlap, and Corbett were dressed but Corbett did not go into the line-up for signal work. J. Nourse '09 helped coach the centres during the practice...

College students are amateurs...
...this be true, no method of ascertaining truth, and therefore no department of human thought, ought to be wholly a sealed book to an educated man. It has been truly said that few men are capable of learning a new subject after the period of youth has passed, and hence the graduate ought to be so equipped that he can grasp effectively any problem with which his duties or his interest may impel him to deal.
