...principal objection to "Mem" being used for this purpose will be that its very atmosphere seems to dampen any show of enthusiasm for gayety; those who argue thus point to the sombre but dignified array of portraits on the walls as evidence. I distinctly recollect hearing a "long Harvard" given in Memorial Hall on one occasion that would put to shame any cheer heard in the Stadium of late years...
...seventh games of the World's Series (baseball) with the final triumph of the Senators. Afterwards the President, tinctured by the ecstasy of the Capital, issued a statement: "Of course, I am not speaking as an expert or as a historian of baseball, but I do not recollect a more exciting World's Series than that which was finished this afternoon.

It is only by thoughtful consideration of each new movement as it arises, that we can ward off such charges as those...
...recollect there is only one person in Cambridge who has realized this possibility. Copey has this unique distinction. Each year he "does something for the Freshmen," but each year he is content to entertain them without feeling that he will let an opportunity go by, if he refrains from advising them...
