...exhortation not only to give, give, when the subscriptions are backward, but to journey in this, that or the other direction - 150 miles it may be - in order to "support" the home team on a distant field. In the case of the boat races, exhortation is necessary, but the result is the same. A greater or less number of students abandon their proper pursuits in search of excitement which is unwholesome per se, and add to their car fares and hotel bills the price of amusement, licit or illicit, during the nights they spend in a strange city away from...

The action of the faculty in this matter will meet the approval of all well-regulated students...
...your committee of men in the class who have openly stated that they would not be in Cambridge on Class Day; but, nevertheless, intended to buy their package of tickets in order to speculate on them. The only excuse for such action can be pure thoughtlessness as regards its result. As a result of this speculation, the most objectionable class in the community is enabled to enjoy Class Day. In no case are the tickets supposed to be sold to any one who will use them for this purpose...
