...race. Experience seems to teach that if the undergraduate interest is turned away from athletic pursuits, it will turn toward social pursuits, at least emasculating, if not vicious. If, with the abolishment of winter sports, the interest does turn toward social things, the Faculty will find itself no better off. We may then look for rules limiting the number of times a month a man may go in town, the number of social clubs he may belong to, or the number of "Brattle Halls" a Freshman may attend during the winter...
...follows: "Since there is a wide-spread opinion that the present state of society is fundamentally imperfect, and that a basis of reconstruction must be found, the purpose of this club shall be the study of Socialism and all other radical programs of reform which aim at a better organic development of society. By Socialism shall be understood, the ownership by the community of the means of production and the extension of the functions of the state to eradicate the individualistic basis of the present economic system.

Indeed, there is more reason why it should be read. The verse...
...Work on the track began four days earlier than last year, but has been light for the greater part of the time on account of the poor condition of the track. The men are in good physical condition and have been worked out sufficiently to give the coaches a better line on them than was possible from the winter work. A full flight of ten hurdles was put up yesterday for the first time. Next week the training table will be started at Memorial Hall with about 20 men and will be moved to the Union after the Easter recess...
