College Spirit, spelled with capitals and thought of as an intangible something greatly to be desired, is sometimes a curse. While we are seeking it so diligently we often lose sight of the fact that it ceases to be a virture when improprieties and injustices can be committed under cover of its magic name. But leaving generalities aside, let's look the situation squarely in the face and find a few specific instances. Take the question of the night shirt parades. We have no objection to the parade. But when a reckless gang of paraders make an exuberance of College...
This plan has many disadvantages. The soccer season will, of course, be eclipsed by football, and men who have participated in both sports will now be forced to confine themselves to one. Naturally, they will participate in the major sport, and soccer will lose men accordingly. The prolonging of the season almost to Christmas will mean in all probability a frozen if not snow-covered field, which will be inconvenient to both spectators and players. The abandonment of spring games will take away an excellent source of exercise for many men, while the long fall and winter season means weaker...

This is particularly true of clubs connected with branches of college study. Since, moreover, Technology is to be the later arrival in Cambridge and since its students are to be the recipients of Harvard professional school privileges which are new to them, it is the part of Harvard undergraduates...
...members of the CRIMSON team wish to express their gratitude to the donors of the cup for the substantial stimulant which they have administered for the scientific advancement of hockey. To Mr. Barron especially are we grateful for we realize that he has everything to lose and nothing to gain. However, we admire a good loser and will say unqualifiedly that all the members of the board of our foolish contemporary are good losers. It is merely the adaptation of that old adage that practice makes perfect...
