...solution of the financial problem could in my opinion be found in this way: (1) sell to members of the University, for $5, or less if possible, an H. A. A. ticket admitting to all home games in every sport major and minor; (2) abolish subscriptions, except for class teams, and leave managers and candidates for managerships free for the legitimate work of their positions, getting men out and looking after the general needs of the teams; (3) support all teams which the Athletic Committee allows to represent the University from a common fund, accruing from gate receipts and ticket...

I feel that we can none of us ever be sufficiently grateful to Major Higginson for having founded this Harvard Union, because each loyal Harvard man should do all he can to foster in Harvard that spirit of real democracy which will make Harvard men feel the vital sense of solidarity so that they can all join to work together in the things that are of most concern to the College. It is idle to expect...
