...take this position. It is well known that in past years some few men have refused to enter the scrimmage through simple laziness, which it would be a kind of flattery to call indifference. It is plain that it is somewhat irksome and involves a little trouble to put on a football suit, and that it seems inconsistent with the dignity and importance of a Senior to rough it a bit at the Tree. But the custom is nevertheless a good one and as old as Class Day itself, and the most important of the events of this...
...face the situation like sensible Harvard men and show the President and his fellows that the confidence they are putting in our word is not misplaced. There is more depending on the result of our next celebration, whatever it be, than is clear at first sight, and it is our duty to be perfectly frank in discussing it. First and foremost the continuance of our intercollegiate contests is at stake, and this alone makes it a matter of the utmost consequence to every student in the University. It is the merest folly to say that the Faculty could not abolish...
...next celebration. Certainly there is nothing unreasonable or in any way unjust in asking students to give up the use of fire-arms and explosives of all kinds, and when we have named this we have practically spoken of every form of restriction that is put upon us.

...went over the four mile course while the freshmen rowed over the last two miles which are to form the course for the freshman race on the 24th. Ward gave more than ordinary attention to the freshmen and made several changes in the crew as an experiment. Prestich was put in at No. 3 and Kregelins and Stearns of the 'varsity boat tried at No. 4 and No. 5. If they give satisfaction in the freshman shell, these two men will row in both races. The 'varsity crew shows steady improvement...
...student celebration, there is one malicious falsehood which we feel that we should publicly deny, as it has been copied in several papers and is calculated to do much harm. It is said that President Eliot addressed the students as they passed his house, telling them that he would put a stop to all athletic contests if the celebration continued. No student in the University would believe this report for a moment, but outsiders, who know very little of Harvard, may be imposed upon. To these we would say that there is not a word of truth in the story...
