Another objection to present methods in American football, especially college football, is the commercial aspect of the whole thing. The amount of money charged for admission to games, and the amount spent (and wasted) upon expensive and unnecessary 'machinery,' in carrying a team through a football season, is out of all proportion to the importance of this phase of college life. (See Harvard Alumni Bulletin of October 7, 1932, p. 35.) The fact that many college graduates are charged approximately five dollars to see their college play football against its chief rival, or that an undergraduate student must...
...rather the opposite. Possibly the present arrangement is not the best adapted to secure the eating of a reasonable number of meals in the House by its members. Undoubtedly there is much to be said against my general thesis. But it does not yet appear to me that this aspect of the matter has been adequately met and until it is so met. I am not sure that you can claim that "the demands of the House members are just" if one regards justice in the light of the eventual nature of the House Plan rather than the immediate irritation...
...mail. This evidence when presented to the trial jury may be supported by an attack on the accuracy of certified balance sheets and operating statements, or it may deal with careless preparation of sales circulars which resulted in "misrepresentation" and loss to purchasers.

...apart from these general criticisms, there is the mater of organization, upon which you have expended more praise than upon almost any other aspect of Harvard University existence. Why are weekly quizzes given to the non-honor men for almost the whole length of the year? And, worse, why must those men who have shown themselves capable of honor work in the self-vaunted most difficult undergraduate course be afflicted with regular bi-weekly hour exams? The excess study required by the average man in the course over that generally given with a full course is proverbial; the conference...
...choice of Wadsworth House, moreover, has a greater significance. With the conversion of the yard and the Union into Freshman centers, the old college landmarks are either disappearing or losing their traditional aspect. Wadsworth House, as one of the few historic remainders, is most suitable for an Alumni center. With this in view, the Association hopes to be able to furnish part of the House as a gathering room. Nothing elaborate is possible in such limited space, nor is it needed, with the facilities of the Harvard Club in Boston so close at hand. The convenience which the new center...
