...second half was rather one-sided, but the good blocking of the University players, and the extraordinary speed and skill of the Dartmouth team, made the game an interesting one. The University team showed great weakness in throwing baskets, especially from free tries, scoring but five time out of a possible 17. Although handicapped by the loss of Captain Grebenstein, Dartmouth exhibited excellent team work and speed in the second half, when they scored nine goals from the floor, and two from fouls. This makes Dartmouth's twelfth consecutive victory. The line-up: HARVARD. DARTMOUTH. Currie, Allen, l.f. r.f., Brady...
...life with a devotion which will render it impossible for you to pay much heed to sport in the way in which it is perfectly proper for you to pay heed while in college. Play while you play and work while you work; and though play is a mighty good thing, remember that you had better never play at all than to get into a condition of mind where you regard play as the serious business of life, or where you permit it to hamper and interfere with your doing your full duty in the real work of the world...
...emphatically disbelieve in seeing Harvard or any other college turn out mollycoddles instead of vigorous men, I may add that I do not in the least object to a sport because it is rough.

Athletics are good; study is even better; and best of all is the development of the type of character for the lack of which, in an individual, as in a nation, no amount of brilliancy of mind or strength of body will atone. Harvard must do more than produce students: yet, after all, she will fall immeasurably short of her duty and her opportunity unless she produces a great number of true students, of true scholars...
...first rank. No industry in combination and in combination will ever take the place of this first-hand original work, this productive and creative work, whether in science, in art, in literature. The greatest special function of a college, as distinguished from its general function of producing good citizenship, should be so to shape conditions as to put a premium upon the development of productive scholarship, of the creative mind, in any form of intellectual work. The men whose chief concern lies with the work of the student in study should bear this fact ever before them...
