...costs. With this view in our minds, the idea of sport for sport's sake is likely to lose force, and we find ourselves seriously watching and aiding a desperate struggle for victory. It is all very well to try to win and to try hard, and it is well for every member of the University to be normally enthusiastic for the team's success. But should we go so far as to make the cheering a rather hysterical and often unfair attempt to compel victory, rather than a recognition of good playing by the teams...

Andover has shown only mediocre ability so far this season and should not be a hard team to defeat.

The afternoon work was much the same. The crew rowed up to the end of the long stretch above...
After so many years of active service at Harvard University, it is hard to realize that but little over a month remains of President Eliot's term of office, and that tonight will probably be the last opportunity for all the members of the University to hear him speak. Throughout his career, the President has addressed the students several times every year, and they have always been only too glad to come to his addresses. At Freshman receptions, at meetings of the Union, at Brooks House conferences, at academic meetings in Sanders, at dinners and at other occasions without number...
