...remarked that "some good reactionaries are needed to settle such all-important questions as censorship, and the freedom of the press." When asked after the meeting to define "conservatives and radicals," he admitted that the average conservative is a man just too lazy to act; he is willing to stand pat, and let things slide as they are. A genuine conservative, however, is a man willing to tinker ahead slowly, experimenting as he goes along, trying to get a working principle, but ever advancing. The radical, on the other hand, is one who works as soon as he thinks...
President Lowell has often pointed out how different is the attitude of American society from that of English society toward the achievements of its young men. An English university man is quite as proud when his son or brother or friend gets a "first" (i.e. our summa cum laude) as when he rows in the boat or plays on the team. Now that our class is fifty years out, we have attained this catholicity.

The play wasn't as a rule very effective against Dartmouth but it affords a contrast to the usual straight run and might be a real...
...defense the Blue was using an eight man line a great part of the time and it proved to be an effective method of checking the Marsters runs. Poor Al only shook himself loose on about three occasions all afternoon. But this form of defense proved to be pretty poor protection against a careful forward passing attack as put on by Marsters and company in the third period. If Harvard can continue to improve overhead it certainly should have enough opportunity to capitalize on its skill. TIME...
