...advantages that they deserve. American universities offer too few of such advantages, far fewer than most European universities. Is it not right for an institution with the age and prestige of Harvard to point the way to a higher standard rather than to fall back to the admittedly inferior standard of today? Is it not our privilege to assert the fallacy of a system that prepares its scholars for college four years later and far less thoroughly than do the public schools of France...
...month later the latter crew wound up its season with a victory over the Yale 1921 eight on the Charles. The losers were inferior in both experience and power. This race was staged as the feature of the annual Invitation Regatta held by the University as part of the program; also the letter's second crew was matched against the Elis B aggregation. Yale, with an advantage of 15 pounds per man, came out the winner, but only by half a length...
...just a little better, stronger, and more farsighted than any foreigner. This supreme confidence, misplaced as it may be, gives him unbounded energy to do his part well. It is, however, often damaging. He instinctively tends to belittle his enemy and to consider him a foe of decidedly inferior mettle.

What a rude awakening they await! They swagger and boast before the seasoned soldiers of our Allies, who look on with amused tolerance...
...after another without becoming in the least conceited,--not so with the Freshmen. There is a danger when one of the yearling teams has defeated a noted rival, it may rest upon its laurels until the following Saturday's contest and be both outfought and defeated by a far inferior eleven. After this sad event all the Freshmen have wandered in town to moan, and to see a Harvard victory in the Stadium against Yale. The squad has shown its ability at Princeton; but it is this week's practice that will win or lose the Eli game...
...Directors, in preparing the expense budget for 1917-18 have reduced the past year's total (chiefly by reducing the number of employees) to the extent of about ten per cent. It did not appear practicable to go further without endangering the permanent interests of the business by giving inferior service to customers. But the reduction in attendance will certainly be much more than ten per cent. and the Co-operative Society will be very fortunate if its business does not shrink in corresponding ratio. For this reason every effort will be made to secure larger patronage from the University...
