...refined ladies; second, because if football clothes were not worn, such weaker garments as were used would be stripped off; third, because the scrimmage has become a fight in which to pay off old scores instead of a good-natured scramble; fourth, because with any form of scrimmage, even such as we proposed with every day clothes on and with lowered flowers, there would necessarily be roughness on account of the present large numbers in the class; and last, because they feel that such an exercise is inappropriate for cultivated gentlemen and for a Harvard Class...
...have tried to meet these objections in every way we can think of, but without success. We have said we earnestly believe that the majority of the class desire to keep the Tree exercises as they are, but the committee of the Corporation believe that not even a petition signed by a large majority of the class would affect the decision of the whole Corporation. We were willing to grant every possible compromise in the way of lowering the wreath or doing away with the '97 emblem, but this did not meet the vital point of the scrimmage. In short...
...Corporation of the University has voted to give fifteen thousand dollars toward the improvement of Soldiers Field for athletics in consideration of the abandonment of the Carey Building for athletic purposes after this year.

Would not this be very uncertain as a means of support, however? One year it might provide sufficient funds another it might not, and the Corporation, never being...
...with all voluntary schemes would be, that feeling no present need of an infirmary the majority of students would not take the trouble to join the association, and the Corporation, having nothing to count on, would have to over-charge non-members or run short for the year. Even if successful, would not the same objection hold true here as in the $5.00 a year scheme? Here again the majority would be obviously paying the expenses of the minority, and in any case under such a system the infirmar would always be under the disadvantage of having its debts...
