...national church, sent to the Chicago Parliament of Religions by the Armenian Patriarch. At the close of the Parliament he decided to come here to Harvard to perfect his knowledge of the English language and incidentally to make some study of American charitable and social institutions. His ultimate aim is to translate the New Testament into the modern Armenian language. His address will be intensely interesting, for the Armenian national church which he will describe is the oldest among Christian churches, embodying the spirit of primitive Christianity. Harvard has been exceptionally fortunate this fall in the number of visits which...
...which are as important as sound minds. Considered as part of education, which is what we are all supposed to be here to obtain, gymnasium work for the individual is vastly more important than beating Yale in any single branch of athletics.

...game ends. Through all the restlessness of this morning, we should keep our minds resolutely to one task at least, namely, that of giving ourselves heart and soul to the support of the team. In the cars, on the street, here in Cambridge if any one stays, this one aim should be absolutely absorbing. Whether the team wins or not-and we firmly believe that it will-the spirit must last after the game and through to the race in the spring. We feel sure that such enthusiasm and loyalty as was shown yesterday will do an immense amount...
