...consideration of the schools which send men regularly to the University, several New England institutions stand out as a more or less isolated group. For purposes of classification the CRIMSON has selected the following seven as typical of this class: Groton, Middlesex, Milton, Pomfret, St. George's, St. Mark's, St. Paul...
...another column is published this morning a list of first and second group scholars, numbering in all 178, of whom seven prepared for college at schools in the above list. If it is assumed that each of the institutions enumerated sends ten men a year to Harvard, then their graduates number but one scholar to every 30 men.

None of these Freshman teams received expert coaching, and this factor eliminated the conflict...
...number of men composing these privileged groups is approximately as follows: the "distinguished personage" group does not exceed 20 men. The coaches of all squads number about 25. The University squad and managers number 40. The second team numbers 52, and the Freshman squad, 35. The band is given 24 seats in the cheering section. Ex-players have been assigned 450, Varsity Club members, 280, and the class of 1879, 60 tickets...
