After years of uncertainty and struggle, as told in other columns this morning, the CRIMSON is now settled on a substantial business basis. Two objects are effected by the present organization: the board is able at the least labor and expense to turn out a paper, which, in its belief, is best fitted to the needs and good of the University; and a practical method has been evolved of securing efficient recruits from the incoming classes, and of assuring the promotion on the board of those men best fitted to carry on the policy of the paper...
Much as we all appreciate the great amount of work falling to professor Sabine's lot, we cannot, but regret his loss for purely selfish reasons. But its recent action the Corporation made possible the retirement of the Deans from the Committee, but we entertained a sneaking hope and belief that their efficiency, and the prospect of less work in the future, would secure their reappointment. Now at least one place on the Committee must be filled by a new Faculty member, who will be just as ignorant of what is necessary as were the Deans when their athletic management...

It would be well for the Ethical Society and the committee of professors responsible to awake to the fact that Harvard is taking an interest in what Professor Zueblin has to say, and would appreciate...
...privilege for the CRIMSON to be able to publish this morning an article on athletics and training by so well known an authority as Dr. Sargent. There is one point in the argument which is especially gratifying from Harvard's point of view--the expressed belief that intercollegiate games tend to create college spirit and college unity, and that great strides have been taken in the intercollegiate athletic world to eliminate the undesirable elements that have blinded many of our elders to the overwhelming advantages. And just there Dr. Sargent points out a duty to the athletes that are representing...
