...seems to me that this feature of the new regulations imposes an unwarranted hardship upon one class of undergraduates who certainly are entitled to consideration. They will certainly be undergraduates in their Senior year. They are merely pursuing the course advocated by President Eliot, in doing their seven years work in six years. Having no idea that such a rule would be imposed upon them when it was too late to change from 1904 to 1903, they have remained in their own class. And now by a rule almost retroactive in its effect upon them, they are to be excluded...
...point that stood out for Yale was that the revenue law would be a hardship for Porto Rico and this Harvard did not successfully meet. Likewise, through clever rebuttal, the Harvard argument that, through Americanization of the island a permanent policy would be secured, was weakened.

In regard to probation, it has seemed that a man who is eligible to play is just as much at fault if he gets on probation as if he breaks training. Although question has been made with regard to the rules about schedules, the committee thinks them wise...
...increase in the number of students who come here for a single year necessitates the building of a dormitory, with furnished rooms. It is really a great hardship for a man, who intends to stay here but nine months, to be compelled to furnish a room. A new dining hall similar to the Foxcroft Club is also a much needed addition to the University...
