...there should be more to this invitation than merely seeing to it that the sailors have seats. They should be made welcome by all Harvard men with a lusty Harvard cheer, and receive the right hand of fellowship. These same lads whom you will see attending your football game will probably be among the first to give their lives for their country, should the cause ever come.
