...worth while then to inquire whether this increase in debating enthusiasm outside has been paralleled at Harvard by a like healthy expansion. Are we advancing or standing still? It is hard to give a satisfactory reply to this question. In a small way, perhaps progress is being made, but on the other hand this progress has been painfully slow. As far as the clubs are concerned-and they are the real gauges of undergraduate feeling-there may be a few more individuals engaged, but the work is generally speaking in much the same stage as it was several years...
Saturday's football game marks to a certain extent an epoch in the development of the eleven, for Dartmouth's team was strong enough to test pretty thoroughly the progress made thus far.

That we are better than people of a century ago we owe to our fathers, who have left us a goodly heritage of sturdy virtues, and this it is our duty to transmit to our descendants with increased worth...
