DEAR SIRS.- As a member of the university, I wish to enter an earnest protest against the team which has marked the recent utterances of the Advocate on the subject of our athletics. The latest and worst example of the views to which I refer is to be found in the first editorial of the issue of December 13th. By those who are not on the spot and who may therefore think that the Advocate represents to some extent, college sentiment, this will perhaps be taken as an expression of undergraduate opinion-and it is deplorable that it should...
...answer to his questions about the the professionalism of Ames, the playing of graduates, and brutality, it is only necessary to refer to the facts as already well known. These, rendered decisive action absolutely necessary. Mr. Codman's charge of hypocrisy in these matters is most unjust. Our attitude is not hypocritical, but is based, we believe, on a real desire for purity in college athletics. In our efforts to accomplish this end, Princeton has thus far refused to co operate.

...beside the effects of the class series upon the sport itself, there has been another result which is in the long run quite as beneficial. We refer to the reawakening of class enthusiasm. The university spirit here has among its dangers the total extinction of class feeling, and this tandency has been quietly at work for the last few years. That all class enthusiasm should be crushed out, however, seems far from desirable. We are a little apt in some ways to grow old too soon here at Harvard, and in the development of our individuality to forget that class...
