Most significant of all is the loss of $10,823 in the year's business. In 1909-10 there was a profit of $3,627, in 1908-09 a profit of $2,766, and in 1907-08 before the present management came into office there was a credit balance of approximately $26,000. Not only has there been a gradual decline in profits but now for the first time in many years we face a decided loss...
...from Freshman athletics in 1908-09, when the subscription system was in force, were about $3300. Last year Freshman athletics yielded $1005, hence subscription may be credited with approximately $2300. Therefore, the two main causes of loss as stated by the Athletic Committee account for roughly $5,300. A profit of $3,627 in 1909-10 and a loss of $10,823 in 1910-11 makes a difference of $14,450 in the balances of the two years. Do the two reasons advanced in the Committee's statement fully cover this deficit? We do not, of course...

At that time it was impossible to secure 1910-11 reports of the several other college co-operative stores that are being operated throughout the country. Since then, however, it has been possible to get such information as to compare roughly the Harvard Society with other college co-operative stores...
...discussing this question, Mr. Macy pointed out what socialism really stands for. Among other things it provides for the passing of land and production from the control of the profit-making few to the control of the consuming masses. The success of this movement depends on whether the majority of people can be brought to believe in it, and although it will undoubtedly be forced upon the country by the course of events, its coming can be hastened by greater enthusiasm on the part of its supporters. Harvard men and all college men in general can help on the cause...
...score on Princeton as was Harvard, and Harvard fairly defeated the team which plainly outclassed Princeton. Hence, Harvard stock, so to speak, rises accordingly, Yale declines, and all goes merrily--until next Saturday. Then the crash comes and we must wait for another chance, when we shall, of course, profit by past experiences and not be so confident. Does not such a story sound familiar in Harvard football annals of the past? It is time that this almost annual gloom were dispelled for good...
