It can be done, however, and that in a spirit of not even seeming interference. Something must certainly be done. A Harvard spirit stronger then ever before is now rife among graduates and undergraduates, and it can hardly be that this has failed to reach the faculty.

This was especially noticeable with regard to the Harvard-Yale freshman game, but the practice of "ragging" 'varsity signs among the students at large is just as rife. The rapidity with which they disappear from the bulletin boards in University and in Memorial is truly amazing. The different athletic teams rely principally upon the posters for the publication of their games, and undergraduates ought to remember that a sign which goes no one knows where in five minutes...
