...perfectly fair and square arbitration, which gives to Yale's feeble protestations that she regrets so very much that Harvard will obstinately refuse to come to terms, a strong flavor of insincerity. Add to this her refusal to arrange a deciding game with Brown and we see another glimmer of that same fearful spirit which for two years has characterized her baseball managements. It is a poor and unsportsmanlike feeling which will prompt one to shun an even battle and we think that Yale has distinctly lowered her reputation for grit and manly bearing in athletics by the policy...
...evident that the winter must have passed his life in the seclusion of his own conceit, if he thinks that such a sentiment has a glimmer of truth in it. The people with whom such flippant and inane flashes of wit have any weight at all, are those who have never heard of Harvard, or have received their knowledge of her through just such unreliable sources as the writer of the passage quoted above.

A great portion of the writing is naturally the direct outcome of affectation, much of the rest from an ambition to shine as a literary light. But here and there at rare intervals we catch a glimmer, transient, it is true, of a pure, new thought, which will not be crowded out, and will in its utterance prove its own intrinsic worth. This, then, we may fairly accept as the basis of Harvard poetry. But what are the poets? Of course we have execrable rhymesters, writers...
