...honesty in written work done outside of the class room. Here we have a real honor system, and here there is abundant opportunity for the exercise of that virtue which Mr. Macgowan extols.

...spite of the track team's defeat at New Haven, Saturday's athletics resulted very satisfactorily for Harvard.
