...find sentiments expressed with which we cannot entirely agree. Admitting that "foot-ball, base-ball, and rowing are liable to abuses." yet we cannot see that these abuses are altogether of the kind President Eliot mentions. Extravagant expenditure and betting are, to be sure, abuses which exist and flourish abnormally. Our position in regard to them has been taken for some time, as every one knows. But is the interruption of college work a very material one? Is there, in and among our athletic teams, such a spirit of "trickery"? Or are "hysterical demonstrations of the college public over successful...
...will ever make its appearance again as a potent factor in Harvard life. The system of compensation which has been in vogue here for some time past was as abnormal a system as could well be conceived. How it was possible for it to grow up and flourish in the rank luxuriance it enjoyed perhaps will remain a mystery forever; for it is hard to conceive of any cause which could logically bring about a result so pernicious. We shall think little of that in the future when the type of man who received distinction here for his ability...

Others would have it a meeting place for strangers, such as Massachusetts was turned into during the celebration, as a smoking-room or a reading-room, all these combined. Also, every proposition ended in a storm of "buts" - as they all began with...
...publish in another column a communication from the president of the Abstinence League which is worthy of the attention of all who are interested in advancing the interest of temperance among their fellows. It is highly desirable that such an organization as this shall flourish here, and every effort ought to be made that its work shall be of value to the students. It has been shown that an exclusive society having such an end as that now proposed in view, cannot exert great influence upon the student body. The most profitable work will be found in just such meetings...
