...there be any doubt that the literary situation at Harvard, as regards undergraduate effort, is badly in need of re-vivification? For several years the Advocate has consistently failed to live up to its splendid traditions and unequalled opportunities. The shades of Aiken, Van Wyck Brooks, Sheldon, Biggers, Hagedorn, Ficke, and others, have hovered in vain. At their best we have had only dilettantism; at their worst puerility; and throughout this period of decadence a continual subservience to the vapid social and political aims of the editors.

In that case the Bursar, at the direction of an athletic committee, would have the right to spend money for athletic purposes. There is no doubt that if men were to be provided with decent equipment, many more would take an interest in competing than do at present. Men of mediocre ability do not care to come out for baseball when they have to play in their old white flannel trousers, use a ball with the horsehide...
...Committee for the Abolition of Athletic Sports both squads have neglected all training table regulations, and will continue to do so throughout the contest. Although it is expected that the Lampoon warriors will still show evidences of the same punch with which they downed Yale, nevertheless no doubt exists in sporting circles that a victory without peace will break the historic...
