...Freshmen have shown an ability to score heavily against a weak team, but as yet their real strength has not been tried out. The floor-work and passing are good and there has been an improvement in the shooting, although the men still tend to miss easy chances. On the defense the team is weak and the men do not follow the ball closely...
...sorts of unrelated things, and not in "contact with men," which too often means becoming part of a clique. It is a place where we should learn to work as well as to play, where we should learn to enjoy work; and that will come through arousing real interest in some particular subject whether it be related or not to our later career. Thus, even here, moderate specialization is wise. Unless our careers fail to be what they should be, such specialization ought to arouse some of the spirit discussed in the first contribution of the issue...

To our undeveloped minds this ideal seems nobler than devotion to original research, and until financial resources make possible the parallel development of the two ideals, we must hold that the leading authorities of American universities are justified in devoting their energies to the propagation of learning which...

Our audiences...
...should cease to look upon actors as a class who turn to the stage from a want of anything better. The American stage depends upon more than transient stars for its real value as an educational influence and a transmittendum to posterity. Should not Harvard with its recognized advantages do its part toward developing actors of recognized ability? We demand the highest qualifications for teachers and members of other professions. Is there any real reason why we should not demand an equally high standard for the men who divert us in our leisure hours, and, since demands alone are generally...
