...again, I shall speak these words of hope, encouragement, inspiration. Can you sacrifice pleasure and success to duty. Have you faith? If you have it, however small, you can move mountains. By faith Columbus, Washington, Channing, Garrison, Lincoln, lived their great and useful lives. America needs a new enthusiasm and calls on you, the trustees of her prosperity for it.

Never before have so many candidates presented themselves, or has so much enthusiasm been manifested by the players. To be sure all did not intend to try for positions on the team, but the large number who were there ready to play shows conclusively that interest in the manly game is not on the wane at Harvard, to say the least. The majority of the men were not heavy, but of good size, and the prospects are that a team...
