...presented the most rugged battling, it was during the opening period that the University presented its strongest threat. Captain Bigelow and Owen in several successive journeys down the rink kept the Canadian defense on edge, while Snelling, playing a brilliant, but erratic game at center, was a constant menace. Twice during the initial frame Holmes was hard put to keep the rubber away from the University goal, the offensive drives of Guillet and G. Burnett for the visitors proving especially powerful...
...army over one hundred and fifty men, trained in its ranks, to hold commissions. This record, repeated in the World War, makes a peculiar appeal to undergraduates ambitious to qualify for commissions as officers, through the solution of actual problems of tactics, administration and discipline, and through keeping in constant touch with the progress of military thought, for in an organization essentially a training-school for officer material, more advanced and intensive work is possible than in the average regiment...

It would face the athletic field and river where Harvard teams and crews would see it daily as the heroic image of the emblem they strive to win. And it would look across the intervening buildings to the Square, the Yard, and Memorial Hall, and all the spots of Harvard tradition and proclaim to all who behold it the presence of Harvard...
