...against Dartmouth and the steady improvement during the past week now leads us to look forward confidently to a Harvard victory. Last year we lost to Yale; the year before we won by the smallest of margins; and now the meets stand ten apiece. It is almost needless to say that the team realizes this situation. We think that very little urging will bring out a large and far more enthusiastic backing than cheered the team to victory last Saturday. We are not overconfident; we firmly believe than the team is going to win, but we also feel that every...
...category of criticism, also, "The Old Ideal: A Retort," by Hiram Kelly Moderwell must be placed. When the Monthly printed in April a defence of the beauty of aristocracy, it must have been clear that the other side should have its say. Mr. Moderwell takes up the cudgels for democracy, and plies them with no little skill and force. The preaching on either side is of the sort which will comfort most those who are already converted. The Monthly's own editorial comment on the opposing discourses suggests the really significant thing about them: "is it no inconsiderable achievement...
...feeling which pronounces the success or failure of a Harvard athletic season arbitrarily according to the result of the Yale race, game, or meet. But such is undoubtedly the case.

...captain of the latter aggregation, with the midnight oil oozing from his brow, and a worried look on his face because the boy's weren't working nice, had nothing to say yesterday afternoon. He did say that the CRIMSON representative might go on along and get out of his way because how could he hit grounders with the CRIMSON representative in front of home and give the fellers some practice and gosh knows they need it. It is rumored that Lowell, a dark horse, is a tower of strength on the mound, and has a grand cross-fire...
Harvard has a large collection of athletic trophies, banners, baseballs, footballs and pictures of teams, which have been accumulated in our athletic history, and which as the years go by gather more and more interest. We say that Harvard has this collection, yet it requires much prying into out of the way corners to find it. Pictures of Mott-Haven teams, of ancient elevens, and prehistoric nines, together with well-earned footballs and baseballs, make the Trophy Room of the Union a place worth lingering in, but at second thought it is evident that this room does not give...
