...attempt to decry Harvard and her methods. The leading editorial is, to say the least, exceedingly unpatriotic. The tone of complaint is almost childish. It is quite evident that the Advocate has ceased to express a fair public opinion. We quote one of the most striking sentences: "We must confess our belief in the existence of a strong body in the faculty, headed by a personage of great influence, the aim of which is ultimately to confine Harvard athletics within the limits of Harvard college."

...failure to accept Cornell's challenge does not confess or acknowledge the superiority of Cornell's crew, and has nothing to do with that question.

...have heard that our editorial of Monday on the social question which is before the college, has been termed ambiguous. We had no idea that the plain statements contained in that editorial would be viewed in any such light, and we must confess that such lack of wit is only another argument for the position we have taken. It shows that there are a few men here who are so absorbed in the old regime that they cannot even appreciate that changes are taking place, much less understand the significance of those changes. To those who are still...
