...judgment is that destructive criticism has gone far enough and that if anything more is to be offered either by undergraduates or alumni it should be put forth, not for the sake of finding fault with what has been done, but to point out the means for improvement. I know that a feeling of what might be called indignation prevailed in the College immediately after the Pennsylvania and Yale games and I feel sure that some of it still exists, but to give expression to it would do a great deal of harm especially as it is, in my opinion...
...there is ample room, and there are ample coaches, if common-sense is directed toward the result, to have daily play on Soldiers Field between not only first and second choice men but third and fourth choice men. Harvard does not always have exceptional material, but she will never know what she has until she gives it regular, daily practice. Football is not learned on the bench to any extent. One remembers the saying of an old Harvard man, who as first substitute lingered many weary days consecutively on the bench, that he wished the management would change the padding...
...three or five years there is no reason why Harvard should not select the best man available among her graduates, a man who has made success in other athletic lines or in football, and a man who has the age and the acumen to work with boys and to know boys. This selected head must have the undivided responsibility of the entire football policy, and once selected with care and thought he must have the undivided support of graduates and undergraduates. Harvard wants to try no more experiments...
...know, of course, the height at which snow exists in the present glacial systems. By studying "moraines"--physical relics left by glaciers below the snow line--it is possible to determine the height at which snow melted during the great ice ages. Thus we have a ready comparison between the climate today and that of these ancient times. In those days, we find that, except during the inter-glacial periods, the world was somewhat colder than at present. The earliest glacial movements, which we discover also by noticing the depths at which moraine is deposited, were less frequent than those...
...order that cases might be investigated before becoming too flagrant, bodies of state officers should be instituted, who should know the names and records of offenders. Furthermore, if fewer peddling licenses were issued, if police stations were closed to tramps who might better be confined in places where work was exacted, and if blind and crippled children were attended to early in life, we should find a great decrease in the number of these useless citizens...
