...seems logically sound. Boston people are perfectly aware of these conditions; if they not only tolerate them, but encourage them by electing such men as Peiletier, Tufts, and Curley, they must be "that kind of people" themselves. In other words, they don't choose bad government and dishonest politics because of ignorance, but because they want...
These men were subjected to a temptation that was too much for them. They were beset by a dishonest crew whose members dangled before their eyes the promise of "easy money". In very many instances ball players have resisted such blandishments. They know that crookedness in ball playing cannot long be covered up.

History teaches that when satire is used, decay has set in. Surely dishonest competition, anonymously conducted, discloses a moribund state of affairs. How can a small group of men who have failed in keeping alive Harvard's undergraduate literary traditions presume to sneer out of existence a publication of real literary promise? It is merely another attempt by the "vested interest" to stifle literary activity...
