DURING the past two years indifference in regard to our athletic welfare has been increasing in the College, and the last two Freshman classes have been unusually negligent in paying their quota towards the support of our sports. It is well known that many men of moderate means contribute liberally, whereas others, who are far better able, refuse to contribute at all. Among the latter are the men who shout loudest over Harvard's victories. If these men refuse from a total lack of all class or college feeling, they deserve the most sincere pity; but if they refuse from...
...ought, after all, to preserve enough interest in the world - you need not have much, of course - to care whether your crew is supported, and whether your class gives say two-thirds of her quota towards its 'Varsity.

The books will then be handed over to the other half of the Class, to receive their quota. Such, in theory, is the formation of the Class Book; in practice, however, it is to be feared that many of the lives will be carelessly written, many of the questions answered slightingly, or not at all. This was the case in previous years; one gentleman, in '74, handing...
