...late years there has been a tendency for students to be apathetic towards these services. Sometimes, indeed, they have not been conducted so as to be attractive, but, on this account, no fear in regard to the coming service can be held. The occasion is the one time in the year when Harvard for a few moment fixes her thoughts on the nobility of her sons in past years. The inspiration of those moments is not cheaply to be esteemed...
When thought is given to the class baseball series of this year, it becomes plain that something must be done, else the series in future years will amount to nothing. To be sure, circumstances were this year exceptionally unfavorable.

It must be remembered that the occasion is wholly different from an athletic contest, and that the methods of applause must also be different. Any expressions of rowdyism are not to be feared, but many men do fear that there will be cheering and they dread such an event. On some accounts, it seems natural that we should cheer, but the reasons against it are much stronger. Noise and boisterousness would be altogether out of harmony with the spirit of any occasion...
