...help that Harvard can give them. What with speeches by the major sport captains, practice in singing the football songs, and a general mingling among classmates and upperclassmen, no man could fail to spend a profitable and enjoyable evening. There seems to be a sort of intangible spirit of enthusiasm breaking out in the College this fall,--the crowd at the football game Saturday showed it,--and tonight every man in 1917 should feel it his duty to get into the swing of it. Therefore, we advise Freshmen to take the bait offered them and make use of this opportunity...
...Union last evening for all those interested in track work, the attendance was 119. Captain W. A. Barron, Jr., '14, presided and talked briefly on the importance of fall track work both in the development of the team and of the individual. With football holding the centre of interest, enthusiasm in the fall season is apt to be much less than it should be, unless everyone takes it upon himself to see to it that he keeps steadily at work. W. M. Rand '09, captain of the 1909 track team pointed out the need and value of headwork and brainwork...
Below is printed, as completely, and accurately as possible, a list of the addresses of Seniors who are living in the Yard this year.

L., Jr., Hollis 27 Allison, D., Stoughton 13 Armstrong...
...sorry that pending examinations kept so many undergraduates from Mr. Noyes's reading last night. Such is the rarity of addresses of great literary and poetic merit that they ought to be received with at least as much enthusiasm as the hoard of political and social lectures which occur so frequently at more favorable times. We do not by any means begrudge the Cambridge public the opportunity to hear our distinguished visitors, but we do bemoan the fact that so few undergraduates care enough for literature to take an hour from their work or leisure to hear a truly notable...
...Sophomores and Freshmen. This condition may be explained as due in most cases to the increasing demands on time made by other activities towards the end of the college career. In some instances it is doubtless due to a frank cooling of ardor for the work after the enthusiasm of the first two years. This we do not regard as an alarming fact. Enthusiasm and sincerity are absolutely essential to real worth in social service. From a man who does not carry interest and conviction in his work, a club of boys will seldom derive much benefit...
