...source of great pleasure to the alumni and present members of the University who may reside in the cities which the clubs visit. These trips have always been delightful to the men who have taken them and there has never been anything in connection with them to bring discredit on the University. The clubs have always remembered and will always remember that one disgraceful act in any city will undo the reputation for gentlemanliness which Harvard men have made in that city.

...there is everything to be said against seminars. It is perfectly evident that they tend to defeat the real purpose of the University, for they not only make it possible for men to stay here without working, but they even encourage a shameful neglect of duty which must bring discredit upon the University.

Of course only eleven men can be on the team, but thirty...
...perfect, and a large crowd turned out to watch the play. Hard hitting and errors galore were the order of the day. In sharp contrast to the previous game between the same nines when only four errors were made, '95 yesterday had seven and '96 had eleven to her discredit. Though the play was thus wretched, the score was so close throughout the game, and so much noise was made by both sides, that there was no end of excitement...
