...training of women, and the consequent improvement of the schools wherein many become teachers, have already been incalculable. In the face of the good so easily and smoothly accomplished, there is no whisper of disapproval or even satire in England. Harvard is wealthy, and could have well afforded to follow the dignified and liberal example of the English universities. Instead of that she has only permitted women students to halt at her back door, allowing her professors to assume burdens which she shirks herself. Women have as yet nothing to thank her for, though they have need to be grateful...
Today is a momentous occasion for the history of foot-ball at Harvard, and will be long remembered in her annals whether victory or defeat is ours. If Harvard succeeds in winning the championship, results of the highest benefit will follow; if she is defeated it will be by a worthy adversary in a well-fought contest, and it will but remain for us to make the struggle again another year.

...from commissions, which average about two per cent. would reach $1,000, giving a total income of nearly $2,500, or more than enough to enable the society to be successful. The greatest danger to which the Harvard society is exposed is internal dissension. Students are too apt to follow blindly the lead of a few men. It was this tendency which came so near ruining Memorial Hall last spring, and it was the same influence that suddenly put the hall on a firm footing again. The fiscal year of the society ends on the third Wednesday of February...
