...were present at the first winter meeting, was a most commendable action. Our only regret is that the action was not taken sooner. If the winter sports cannot be held without the introduction of Muldoonism, then they were better not held at all. Trainers have their places without doubt, but they do not belong in the Hemenway Gymnasium. Contests in sparring among gentlemen, to be respectable, must be free from the vulgarity of professionalism, and Harvard men are presumably gentlemen.

...students for perusal and criticism. This was to have been kept up throughout the year, unless it proved too complicated. One set of themes was thus distributed, and no more. That was all. No word of explanation was offered in regard to the sudden change. Now, there is no doubt that most of the criticisms were absurd and severe, and probably did neither the writer nor the men of whose work it was written any good; but the ideas obtained from reading the work of others was of inestimable value. No matter how careful and thorough in his criticisms...
