...commendable for several reasons. In the first place it will tend to centralize the practical work of collecting, placing it all under one head, the graduate manager. As it is now, the crew manager, the Mott Haven management, and even the cricket and lacrosse teams work away to raise money, without any cooperation. As a result they clash more or less, and a number of collectors have to cover the same ground. It is very doubtful whether altogether they are able to raise more from a given number of individuals than could a single collector, asking for additions...

There are plenty of men who want them, for their friends, and have a right to them, and it is an outrage that they should have to pay extra...
Every good ticket now in speculators' hands has come through a college man. It is a nasty situation to face, truly. To the individuals who are responsible for it we have only one thing to say-if they can deliberately set to work to raise money from such a source, and can get any real satisfaction out of their profits, they are out of place in Harvard University...
