...dwelt upon the history and traditions of Harvard as one of the university's most valuable attributes and emphasized the importance of knowing her great men and famous localities, and of recognizing the most truly characteristic and essential traits of the institution. With that spirit of "intellectual austerity" in mind, that love of the things of the intellect for their own sake and of truth for truth's sake, one is not likely to be deceived by jingoistic loyalty or by the shortsighted ideals of a small company of men. For the lasting tradition that should permeate all work affords...
...third place, get out of the beaten paths at College and show yourselves individuals. Keep constantly in mind that, while your studies must be first, they are not all.

But we have. The order of the crews that leave today is probably not final, and there are not three weeks before the Yale races. The crew did, of course, meet one of the best crews that Cornell...
...made such a showing against all odds in the Intercollegiates. They followed Friday's surprises with still greater surprises and now, though we had had no hope of a place as good as second, we hear rumors of dissatisfaction because we did not win. This spirit of "never mind the chances, fight!" has been characteristic of Harvard teams this year and is a spirit that will carry us far toward future victories. Therefore, the essence of congratulations...
