...deplorably unsuccessful season that our basketball team has just gone through only serves to emphasize the inadequacy of the Hemenway Gymnasium for any kind of organized sport. Basketball deserves better support than it now receives, but until the candidates can be better accommodated the game is not very likely to flourish. When the building has been thoroughly renovated, conditions will be somewhat better; but we await in patient hope the time when some loyal graduate will present us with a new gymnasium, or at least put the present one into such shape that we shall not be obliged to receive...

Regular members, also, should not forget that the $4 a week guarantee is only a temporary...

An example will illustrate: We undergraduates believe, by democratic and thorough organization of all the undergraduate community into classes, teams, class dormitories, and the like, and with the whole strengthened by the presence of an untrammeled system of intercollegiate games, that each individual is given a better chance, and the "esprit de corps" of the University greatly increased. Apparently, our elders have little faith in this kind of organization. They would have each man go his way, as separate from the rest as each grain in a pile of sand...
