...heard the cheering yesterday afternoon can accuse Harvard of indifference or lack of loyalty. As we have said many times of late the fine feeling which exists among the students has been too evident for any mistake and the climax yesterday was the finest outburst of enthusiasm, the finest evidence of affection for the University, ever given in the form of cheering. Nothing is more touching, nothing more stirring to the sturdy, manly side of college men's natures, than the parting with classmates and fellow-students who go to uphold the honor of their college in contests like these...

Let the whole atmosphere of the place be bright and cheerful for the rest of the week and when Friday comes we shall send the team off to Springfield with a cheer such as has not been heard here in years, a cheer which shall go a long way toward victory...
