...University eleven got the "H" and the players on the scrub received a "2nd." Now, why are the substitutes of the first eleven discriminated against? At Yale, a certain number of substitutes are given caps with the letter Y, and F B on either side, and I see no reason why the same plan cannot be adopted by Harvard. The regulation black cap with the red "H" and the letters F and B on either side, could be, and should be given to substitutes on the University eleven. As the crew and track team substitutes are honored with appropriate letters...
...reason--the only reason--suggested for the change is that four miles is too exhausting. Before going any further it must be remembered that it is yet to be shown that any man whose vital organs were sound and who had properly and carefully trained, has ever been injured in a 'Varsity race, either in this country or in England.

There is every reason to believe that in this country also they would furnish the best possible method of dealing with the liquor problem...
...most satisfactory manner, and the enthusiasm of those who have witnessed the performances has been marked. For the first few weeks this venture, so full of possibilities for the enrichment of our musical life is distinctly on trial, and it must fail unless it has support. For this reason all Harvard men are asked to aid the project in every way by arousing the enthusiasm of those who do not know of it and by direct patronage. The prices have been made very low--the best seats for only one dollar and good seats for half that sum. I feel...
