...better position than any she has occupied since the football league was organized. What cause, then, she has for regret we cannot see. The Advocate is wrong in saying that Harvard has made a mistake in withdrawing, but that having made this mistake she must maintain her position. If we were really in fault it would clearly be our duty to retract regardless of consequences. But, save in the inopportune appointment of the committee to confer with Yale-a matter of comparative unimportance-we have not been in fault. The only reason for our maintaining our withdrawal from the league...
...athletic question. It is difficult, however, to incriminate her in this fashion. Harvard makes no claim that she has in the past been above reproach. She, too, though in a somewhat less degree than some of her sister colleges is open to criticism for the past. She does maintain, however, that her actions this year have been straightforward and honest, and of this she certainly has a right to be proud.

It is impossible, however, despite our recent defeat at her hands, that Princeton should put into the field a fair team capable of competing with Harvard. It is merely a question of resources-nothing more. Princeton, therefore, in order to maintain her place in the league has been forced to call upon her graduates or upon outsiders for support. Now it cannot be denied that Harvard has done this in the past. So much to her discredit. But today she stands in all sincerity for purity in athletics, and occupying this...
...special feature of Junior year is the division of studies into departments. This has never been done in the past before Senior year. These department are seven: Mental philosophy, political science, classics, modern languages, mathematics, natural sciences and English. To obtain special honors in English the student must maintain a first group standing in the required English and fill out his four hour elective in this department, with some elective in classics and modern languages...
