...forth into extended exhortations-a style too common in college and school publications-but merely to call to mind the facts. Harvard tried her very best in football this past season. The result was she put into the field the best team she has ever had, and made a better showing than she has ever made before-this with an unbroken line of defeats in the past for encouragement. In other branches of athletics she has a better record to encourage her. There seems to us no reason, therefore, why she should not do as well in these...

Had the orchestra supported Mr. Loeffler better the effect of his solo would have been greatly enhanced. But the accompaniment was ragged and frequently off the beat. The snare drummer was the particular offender in the latter respect...
