...unless so inclined. We do not say that this was the cause of their absence. It is only likely that it was the cause. There has been much talk about Harvard's good prospects this year, but if this kind of business continues athletics will do their best to find a lower level than the one they now occupy. No doubt such a task would be difficult but it is within the range of possibility. Many may say that the non-athletic men don't know about such things and had better use their power of speech on a subject...
...customary for Exeter to send a large delegation of football men to Harvard, but we find only two at present trying for the eleven. These two are Goldthwaite and Horn-the latter of whom is playing centre rush for the 'Varsity. From the Roxbury Latin are Williams and Blainey.

The sentiment at Harvard today is very strong against hazing, or anything that partakes of the nature of it, and it is this feeling, and not the fear of punishment, that prevents sophomores to-day from reviving this custom of the past. But in any case the influence resulting from hazing could not be worse than that from "Bloody...
...glad to welcome President Eliot back to Cambridge after his well earned vacation and trust that he has completely regained the strength which is so necessary for the fulfillment of his duties in the University. He comes back to Harvard to find it in the flourishing condition which is due in a great measure to his own exertions There is every reason to suppose that Harvard will not slacken the pace which she has held during the earlier years of President Eliot's administration, toward advancement and emancipation from narrowing prejudices...
