...election of officers by a Freshman class is second only in importance to the election of permanent officers in Senior year. A class which is carefully organized and ably directed in its first year is on the high road to success and in the succeeding years will profit in full measure by a good beginning. Some years ago when the Freshman president was chosen earlier in the year it was harder to make certain of the right man unless the class was fortunate in having a man on the University football team, who had the qualities necessary for the position...
...editorial on the after-glow of the Yale game is wholly to the point. It might, to be sure, have been a generous touch to add to the refreshing though that the dogma of Yale infallibility had had a hard blow the further reflection that both colleges may mutually profit by the "exhilarating (not exhilirating) novelty" of Harvard's winning three great events.

What the black-list attempts to do is this: to serve as a warning to every Harvard man that the abuse of his privilege of obtaining seats, whereby financial profit is derived for himself or anyone else, is dishonorable under the conditions by which he receives this privilege, and unfair to other Harvard men who are actually desirous of seeing the game but are prevented by lack of seats. Ample precautions are taken by the Association to detect such transactions and all because it is eminently fair that Harvard men be allowed to purchase the desirable seats at the original...
