...pretty widespread snobbery which is practiced toward non athletic men by their fellow students who consider themselves far above them in social "rank." There are many cases of men who "cut," or treat condescendingly, a fellow-student because he wears a seedy coat or is unpolished in his manners, even though he has worked side by side with them in the laboratory or the class room for months, and may have given evidence of good, solid, manly qualities. In the majority of cases the man so snubbed will gradually, I think, rise above the contempt or condescension of his high...

...would have its readers believe. Captain Beecher did not train his team "to fight the referee," nor did any one who heard what he said take it that way.

It shows that there are a few men here who are so absorbed in the old regime that they cannot even appreciate that changes are taking place, much less understand the significance of those changes. To those who are still in the dark as to our intents, we would say that we advocate an improvement in the tone of Harvard life which will wipe out the deference paid "to pink shirts...
