...players. Cheering itself is not noticed perhaps, so very much in a game, but under present conditions the lack of it, on the part of either team's supporters, would be decidedly depressing to that team. In fact it would be a distinct handicap to a Harvard team to abandon cheering, unless the opposing team could also be convinced to give it up. Moreover, it does not seem to me to matter much, if there is some artificiality in the present method of cheering. After all, the spirit is there and the manner of expression is of slight importance...
...Committee that it would probably be impossible to hold exercises about the Statue this year because they necessitate the use of wooden stands, which, during the exercises, offer such danger from fire that the Corporation will probably prohibit their erection if the class itself does not wish to abandon them. A letter to that effect from the secretary of the President was read by the chairman.

The gentleman has wisely overlooked in his argument any danger to our mainland...
Ewell closed the debate for Yale. Our first considerations should be in the interests of the United States and if we take the policy of the affirmative, our interests would surely be endangered. We should never abandon the policy which has served us so well for centuries. We agree with the affirmative that justice should be done; no nation in the past had trouble in collecting just debts in South America. We should permit punishment by other methods and resources, but never by the seizure of land which is the vital part of every country's existence. If one specific...
