...second string baseball material is not doing its share. The University second baseball team, now that the Leiter Cup Series has been crowded out, affords the only opportunity, outside of a few interclass games, for the man of average ability to play the "national game." But for some unexplainable reason the team is not being supported. An opportunity to play baseball is being wasted, while we compromise ourselves by the damaging admission that after all an "H" is the only incentive that drives men to play baseball.

...Shaler, 1908 has voted to give the portrait to the Union as its graduating gift: a fitting remembrance from the last class that spent a year in Cambridge while Professor Shaler still lived. It is necessary to raise a large sum-much larger than was anticipated. And for this reason every Senior must subscribe more liberally toward a memorial worthy of a man renowned as the undergraduates' dearest friend...
