...apparent. We have more students than Yale and ought to put as good teams on the field. If our defeats are due to unscrupulousness on Yale's part, we must not complain, provided we have used the same means but not as successfully. All Harvard men naturally would like to see Harvard first in athletics, but victory must not be bought by a sacrifice of honor. Harvard students must remember that the object of this college is to fit men for the positions they will occupy in after life; they should condemn disgraceful acts in athletic contests, but they should...

It is by far the best eleven Harvard has ever put into the field, and had it met an amateur undergraduate team, like itself, would very likely have won. It may, however, well be doubted whether Harvard beaten has not a more honorable record than Princeton victorious. But enough of what is passed; there is work ahead which we must undertake. Harvard has stood foremost this year in an endeavor to uproot professionalism...
