Nowadays one continually hears the question asked: "Why does Cornell turn out such superior teams to ours?"

As a matter of fact, Cornell gets no more good schoolboy stars than any other college of like size. The real solution lies in the spirit which gets men out and makes them interested in working for their college. It is foolish to say that Harvard has no track material. Out of the 1100 odd men who are eligible for teams there...

So far as is known, this is the first attempt to reproduce a set of class pictures, of so early a date, in a single group. The contributors for this...
...university as large as Harvard certain difficulties would arise before a similar plan could be worked out. Since military drill has already been instituted at Harvard there would be a question whether the winter drill as well as the summer training should count towards a degree. Surely neither ought to count except as a practical supplement to the theoretical courses on military science which will be given under the direction of the University. If a man wished to take such military courses, the required drill, gained either in the summer or in the regiment, would then be counted towards...
