...fairest possible trial, for a tradition of victory and a small college especially intent on this sport are helpful auguries to prove the contentions of the give-the-game-back-to-the-boys columnists. This one opening, however--and its success is still far from certain--can mean little in such a campaign. Ten thousand alumni basketball teams assemble annually to battle ten thousand school teams. Hockey and football, more dependent on carefully pre-outlined systems of attack and defence; track and crew, relying on ultra-scientific training; these are far too complex for a mere player to teach...
...anticipated outlay for the Yale week-end will be worse, and for those who sport license plates of dashing colors the thought of registration and insurance is the last straw. That such an accumulation of gargantuan expenses should be presented at one fell swoop is inexcusable. Does it mean that Harvard undergraduates will have to follow those of Princeton and give up their automobiles entirely, or will University Hall or Brattle Square devise some even more devilish solution...
...University soccer team will present a new lineup when it opposes the Navy at Annapolis this afternoon in the first of its two games of the Southern trip. Victory in these two holiday clashes will mean that Harvard, for the first time in several years, will enter the Yale game a favorite. A decided scoring punch and a cohesive defense have been built up which augurs well for success today...

Is Harvard to remain a place where boys will grow into youths and men under the influences and in the surroundings which mean so much--almost everything--to us? Or will the College decay as the professional departments grow? Will the only colleges of the old type that remain be those in the country towns--Bowdoin, Dartmouth, Williams, Amherst...
...hope it will mean more contact between the various kinds of undergraduates, and a greater appreciation among them of intellectual ability and of intellectual achievement. No one can suppose that it will bring a leveling of students to a uniformity in interests outlook, breeding, the conventional standards of society. But it must lead to a broadening of association and acquaintance, and we may hope it will give the last blow--if indeed one is needed--to the silly notion that "C" is the gentleman's grade...
