A fault, to be corrected, must be known; and if we make a point of sparing the feelings of our athletic representatives by charitably blinding ourselves to their obvious failings, so long must we expect to see those failings remain prevalent. A team may do hard and conscientious work all through the winter, and yet in the spring meet with utter and signal defeat; and in such a case, while we should give them full credit for the hard work they have done, we must not content...

It has long been a reproach to Harvard that her professors, when exhausted by a long life of mental labor and research, must expect no calm old age, but must continue on in the dull routine of lecture and recitation, until, like faithful and worn-out horses, they die still in the harness.
