...advance has moved towards knowing himself and the world, seeing things as they are, spontaneity of consciousness (Hellenism); the main impulse of a great part, and that the strongest part, of our nation has been towards strictness of conscience (Hebraism). They have made the secondary the principal at the wrong moment, and the principal they have at the wrong moment treated as secondary. Everywhere we see the beginnings of confusion, and we want a clue to some sound order and authority. This we can only get by going back upon the actual instincts and forces which rule our life, seeing...
...athletics is in the direction of fraud and deceit." Probably the annals of debate among intelligent men will show nothing richer or fresher than this. Brothers Nichols of Harvard and Moffat of Princeton will hereafter kindly refrain from practising their deceptive arts upon the guileless batsmen. It is wrong to give them balls that they cannot knock into "kingdom come." It is shame to tease them by sending in curved spheres. In future, pitchers will deliver them straight at the bat so that nothing may baffle the aim of the batsman, who can thus convert his ash into a catapult...

This fact, however, is aggravated by the carelessness or thoughtlessness of some students, who either leave the books they consult on the tables or-what is worse put them on a wrong shelf.

Mr. Evelegh, who was referee in these matches, recently expressed himself in the most unprejudiced manner as very much pleased with the play of the Americans, which, of its style, was the best he had ever seen. But he also said "that the style was entirely wrong. Against men of the Renshaw 'calibre,' they played far too near the net, and when the Englishmen really set themselves to play (that is in the second match, not the first), they did what they pleased in the long stretch of court, left absolutely undefended. It is all well enough...
...were weighed in the balance and found wanting. It is easy to see what caused our discomfiture in the former sport the structures of the faculty-but we can only attribute our want of success in foot-ball to "general adverse circumstances." We believe that our system is wrong in respect to training up foot-ball players and we trust that this year will find an improvement in the formation of class elevens, in the better quality of material at hand, and in more systematic and scientific coaching. Lacrosse seems to have fallen behind as a university sport...
