...Harvard if Yale does not favor a dual league? Will she not be entirely cut off from football contest?" The questions are pertinent ones, since it is altogether likely that is just the attitude Yale will take. They imply, however, a mis-conception of Harvard's attitude. If we understand the case aright, Harvard is today more nearly in a position favorable to her own interests than she has been at any time during the last few years.

It was one long struggle against poverty, in an age when people had not come to understand that literature was a profession worthy of the highest type of man.

There are two points in his instruction which must be considered; his subject matter and his manner. To understand Socrates' manner, he must be marked off from the so called Sophists. Until the fifth century BC. education was of a most ordinary character consisting of reading, writing, a little music, and gymnastics. These were not sufficient for an education, so before the middle of the fifth century, a class...
