...keenly reflected by the indifference of the students. That change must bring it straight before the students that athletics are now in their own hands, that it rests with them to bring out the best results from the best material in the land, that a college devoted to extravagance cannot be a dwelling house of strength and the, letic skill, and that hard work on the part of some and strong interest and support on the part of the rest will alone bring the success that is looked for as a necessity. The blessings of such a spirit in college...
...have Harvard's best interests near at heart. Graduates and undergraduates, after thoroughly examining why Harvard's crews and teams have been so universally beaten lately, have reached the conclusion that our teams have been handicapped from the outset. What is the ??? of competing with other colleges if we cannot do so on an equal footing? What is the use of awakening vain hopes foredoomed to disappointment?

...overseers taken this step of consulting the student's ideas and wishes on college discipline before, they would never have made the silly suggestions of a week or so ago. Overseers and students rarely see the same question in the same light; and an exchange and comparison of views cannot help clearing hazy and perhaps fallacious ideas on each side. We should strongly urge that hereafter the overseers consult some representative student committee before attempting to introduce any radical change in college government, however wise such a step may seem to them...
