Yesterday morning the CRIMSON mentioned in its editorial comment on last year's Athletic Association report, Mr. Garcelon's suggestion that half-course credit be given a major sport manager. We wish today to analyze the idea more closely. "If efficiency for work in after life is one of the objects of a college course, the college authorities can well consider the question of giving a young man taking his three-year course (i.e. as Second Assistant, Assistant, and University Manager) under the direction of the Graduate Treasurer, a credit of half a course toward his degree. It ought...

That individualism should be fostered at Harvard is, I think, generally agreed. But that his fears are well-grounded is not so clear. Is the present system, or lack of system, as soundly individualizing as it might be? Individualism does not, I take it, mean isolation, but rather the personal independence that comes from thoughtfulness and breadth of interest. There...
...wonderful football ability is too well known about the University to need comment. His drop kicks have won many contests of which the outcome would have otherwise been doubtful, and his presence in the game has always injected life and snap into his team-mates. In both of the years in which he has been playing on the University, he has been conceded a place on the All-American teams without dispute. He seems to possess all the qualities requisite to make him a most efficient leader of next year's eleven...

And worse that this, they are frequently unrepresented even on the library tables of the College clubs...
