...another column we publish portions of a long article on "Athletics at Harvard," taken from the Boston Herald. The author of the article is a well known graduate of this college, who, like the great majority of Harvard men is totally disgusted at the phase which athletics have assumed here during the past few years. The successive defeats of Harvard teams are attributed to the intermeddling of the faculty in athletics-an institution which the faculty, in its ill-judged endeavor to remodel and reorganize, has only succeed in working incalculable harm...

The distance is great, but the team needs encouragement and we should like to see a large delegation sent from Cambridge.

Critical articles on Harvard life and its influences have been so numerous of recent months that Harvard men are beginning to feel like specimens in an educational museum. If all the criticisms were as good humored as Professor Briggs' we could not complain. He has been most intimately associated with Harvard undergraduates for many years and surely knows whereof he speaks. His comments on the abstracting influence of outside work may seem...
