...regrettable that an ideal system of informal sports will not live at Cambridge. We are athletically spoiled by watching huge contests on whose outcome championships are at stake; we have been brought up on the idea of the importance of the Yale game and with it gone our whole system breaks down. The candidate for a team wants to get into the big game, and when the final contest turns into a struggle with some preparatory school or service organization, the whole cause for training seems to him wasted. From the observer's point of view, the informal system...

The Yard, as we understand, is heated by excess steam from the Cambridge Power Plant, which would have to keep open anyway. We would have saved nothing there. Dormitories would necessarily be open and light and heat would...
...colleges and make up a large part of the direction of public opinion, can exercise a curative influence by preaching the doctrine of tolerance, by exemplifying the fact that it is not necessary for a nation like the United States, which is fighting for the vindication of a great ideal, to discolor its purpose by hatreds or by the entertainment of any unworthy emotion. --Secretary Baker...
