...United States can not consistently with its past policy consider the question of guaranteed neutrality, since it refused to do so in 1888, when propsed by England and Germany. The present advantages under the reciprocity treaty would be lost. This would simply be a makeshift and likely to lead us into many quarrles. A protectorate, either one which would retain Hawaii's sovereignty or one which would given the United States the supreme government, is both inexpedient and incompatible with our national policy.

Her attitude toward her own team is something which it is unreasonable for any outsider to question, but that it implies any criticism of her opponents, or disparages in any way the splendid record of the Yale team, is far from the truth. Harvard has not in the past been slow to admire manly qualities in any adversary, and it is a mistake to think that she grudges the tribute...
