...think that the time given to athletics is so much taken from study, while, as a matter of fact, it is just that class which is naturally least inclined to study that enters most heartily into athletics. The "training" which these men have to keep is certainly beneficial, and often restrains the thoughtless from actions to which they would otherwise be inclined. The influence upon the college of two hundred and fifty of the most active and most popular of the undergraduates, who through the pursuit of athletics are made to lead regular and whole-some lives, is a very...
Professor Francis G. Peabody spoke last night in Sever 11 upon the subject, "College Standards of Duty." College standards are more artificial than those of the outside world, and are often directly opposed to them. Not long ago the petty larceny of sign stealing was encouraged by college opinion, and deceiving instructors was not regarded as dishonest. In the progress of time, there has been much improvement, and the general sentiment of college has become much manlier and more sensible.

As we have often said before, Harvard University cannot afford to disregard the opinions of her graduates, and we earnestly hope that this last set of resolutions may receive the immediate attention of the college authorities...
...championship series and has proved conclusively what steady practice and faithful training can do. We congratulate the members of the nine on their excellent work of Saturday, and we feel hopeful in regard to the championship. However, there is one thing to be guarded against; it has often been the stumbling-block of Harvard teams. We mean over-confidence. Yale on her own ground is a dangerous opponent, and such an opponent we shall have to contend against next Saturday. Harvard is now at the head of the intercollegiate league and it remains to be seen whether she can continue...
