...chief reason, however, for addressing you was to call attention to a branch of intercollegiate contests in which Harvard has no need to excuse or explain herself. I refer to the annual debates in which her representatives have won such widely-noticed success. While athletic interests are hibernating it would certainly not be amiss for the body of students to turn their unoccupied loyalty and enthusiasm to these contests, more distinctly academic in their nature and apparently more suited to Harvard's peculiar talents than athletics.

The winning spirit was shown and if it is kept up, as there is every reason to expect that it will be, it is sure to bring its reward sooner or later. Those who are inclined fallaciously to assume a connection between this and other defeats, and to look gloomily on the future,- if there are any such-are as unworthy of being Harvard men as they are devoid of every essential quality of sportsmen...
