...University teas which occur on Fridays throughout the winter provide an easy avenue to acquaintanceship with one's professors. In the past they have done much to change the traditional attitude of antagonism between student and professor into one of mutual friendliness. Invitations are extended to all members of the University, and all are equally sure of a hospitable welcome. President Lowell's Sunday afternoon receptions for students are also a pleasant means for furthering such relationships. The day is gone when the President is able to bow to everyone he meets in the yard, but each man in college...
...John Harvard, we thank you! In our rush of daily tasks we oft lose sight of our indebtedness to you. Yet in our every work, done fairly and joyously for our college, we are in reality paying to you deep and loyal tribute. For with the eye of truth you saw--dimly perhaps and far away--a future college of breadth and strength and forward marching progress; and believing in that ideal you gave lavishly of your, worldly store to further it.

In the second he saw a good opportunity, but such satire, to be effective, must be more articulate...
Last Saturday Yale upset all predictions and theories and walked away with the Princeton game 10 to 0. The victory was not easy; they had to fight hard for it, but somehow, just as they have done for the past ten years, they managed to win. Yale played a cautions, careful game. They held back and waited for their opportunity and when it came they were quick to take advantage...
