...thereby secure the ball, and to do this is not so very difficult, as a referee is after all but mortal and can not have his eyes upon every man in the field. As long as this state of things continues we suppose there will be players who are mean enough to avail themselves of this opportunity. To be obliged to publicly warn a man for unfair play three times before by punishment can be inflicted seems absurd, but such was the case under the old rules. The present change has lessened the number of warnings to two, but should...
Without any further Shelly shallying we believe the college may as well squarely face the present outlook in foot-ball, and see just how desperate our chances for success have really become. It is only by so doing, and then, in the full realization of all this means, by rousing from our present strange lethargy to new energy, that even a ghost of a show of winning the championship is left us.

There can, of course, be no question of the fact that there are many professional men in the country who have a thorough and comprehensive knowledge of their professions and are indisputably pre-eminent in their respective fields. But if the great majority of professional...
...care to discuss the value of the training afforded by any particular course of study, but we do think that in both instances the true purpose and meaning of a liberal college education is misunderstood. Are we here to prepare for our professions? Then what do the professional schools signify? What we want of Harvard College is not a summa cum laude or a diploma and degree, but the best liberal education that she can afford us. We cannot afford to graduate with the thought that our education is complete. It is only begun. What does "Commencement" mean...
