Excerpt from The Cornell Era, Vol. 33 Brice had luck. Yes, that was it, the successful man was lucky and he was not. This luck business was a new idea to him, and he stepped into a door way to think it over. Two men, hurrying out, brought him back to a considera tion of things material. He recognized one of them as Brice's rival on the Dispatch, and looking around him for the first time, found himself at the foot of the stairs leading to the local rooms of the other morning paper. Fate had solved the problem for him, and without debating a moment on the right or wrong of what he was about to do, the cub rushed up the stairs three steps at a time.

Excerpt from The Cornell Era, 1901-1902, Vol. 34: A Journal of the University Our success on the water this year was in one sense a double victory. Besides defeating five other fast crews we at the same time wiped out the lingering discouragement left by the defeats of the past two years and established a record that many a crew will work hard to break. The uninitiated can not appreciate the stupendous amount of training our crews experience before the Old Man con siders them ripe enough for the all-important trial. The men go on the machines early in the winter and their untiring faith fulness during the long tedious hours of indoor work is no small criterion by which the coaches pick their men. Then come the cold spring days before overcoats are discarded when the shivering candidates don their rowing garb and betake themselves to the frosty waters of the inlet only to be 'called down, overhauled and even bounced by the Old Man. All this severe handling, however, lends more encouragement to the chosen few upon whose shoulders will fall the struggle later on.

Excerpt from The Cornell Era: A Journal of the University Published Once a Month As soon as a student has finished his course at the gymnasium (practically a high school taking the scholar through the work of the Freshman year at college) and has tasted the first sweets of University freedom - sweets in the contradictory form of unlimited beer at his graduation kneipe - he is rushed by some society. Provided he is the sort of a fellow apt to make a congenial verbindungs man. The technical term is fuchse keilen. Lashing foxes or freshman, the idea being to drive them into a corner. The fox is entertained at the kneipen in the corps' rooms - com paratively few occupy houses - in drinking and singing, for one night after another. If he is pleased with the men, reversing the American manner, he asks that his name be proposed. The voting him a fox of the organization is by acclamation and it is seldom that anyone who has been con sistently and seriously rushed, is voted down. The fox then receives the cap and half the chest band. Becoming a fox does not necessarily imply that the student will become a bursche or full member of the corps. He is excluded from some of the kneipen and is more or less on probation for one semester to show that he is an honorable, congenial and courageous fellow. In Germany there is but one test of courage - duelling. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
