...they are expected to play ball for something far more important than the mere "fun" of it. Work, hard and conscientious work must be enforced. By no other method can a freshman nine obtain the coveted championship. When the nine don their uniforms for the first time, they must understand that it means something else besides the desire of their classmates to see them look "pretty." It was only by continual practice and strict attention to duty that '89 won two straight games from Yale, and if '91 would follow her example, the same conditions must be imposed...

...editor of the London Times once tried the experiment of taking the highest honor graduates of Oxford and Cambridge and trying to make journalists of them. I understand that in every case the experiment failed. Many college graduates have been found wanting, when tested, in those qualities which make the successful newspaper man. An early battle with the world often brings out in a young man that degree of "push," quick judgment and self-reliance which make him more likely to succeed as a reporter than one who has spent all his life in the study of books...
