...numbers is not inconsiderable and it shows clearly what an important part of the University the department is fast growing to be. Perhaps nothing shows the position and influence that it holds among other colleges than the fact that six of its members for example, come from such a distant college as the University of Michigan, five from the University of California, besides representatives from nearly every college in the West and the South...
...agree with others in beliving that, as other colleges grow up in various parts of the country and increase in influence with the public, we must, perhaps, lose or at least weaken to a certain extent our hold upon the West. But that day, we trust, is far distant and at present we are still growing in every direction.

...appeal for funds for the Soldiers' Field is of a nature that needs no urging. The simple facts are that Harvard must have more room for exercise. The growth of the college puts the time not very far distant when Holmes Field and Jarvis Field will have to be used for other purposes than play grounds. Crowded out of its present quarters, athletics must go somewhere, and Major Higginson has generously provided the grounds on the further side of the river. It ought to require no more persuasion than the mere statement of facts to draw forth all the subscriptions...
