...many captains who have done these things, but few who have done them as disinterestedly as Goodrich. His final act of self effacement, however necessary it may have seemed to him and to the coaches, can but add to the respect which is felt for him. An undergraduate seldom has a harder thing to do. Resignation before success, setting aside the chance so cagerly looked forward to, of making one more effort, is bitter. The college knows this, and it knows now better than ever before, what it owes to its e crew captain...
...blase; when we come down to a perfectly harmless piece of folly they magnify it to an outrage and still call us children. Considering the character of the trick, I cannot imagine that it should have been conceived in any spirit but that of harmless fun-a spirit which seldom enough gets the better of our dignity. If an insult were intended to Professor Wendell surely something would have been done which would have left us in no doubt as to the intention. As to the insult to the class suggested by the writer in Wednesday's CRIMSON, I think...
...Seldom has so large a meeting been held in Cambridge for a similar purpose. The Fogg Lecture Room was packed to the doors, and so many were unable to enter that it is to be regretted that Sanders Theatre could not be used as the place of meeting.

The speaking on the whole, however, was good, though there were no especially strong speeches. Most of the men treated the subject very intelligently, though seldom strikingly. The tendency to attempt to cover too much ground was not as noticeable as at most Freshman trials, perhaps by reason of the limitations of the question. Most of the men showed excellent command of language...
Garrison has done excellent work at quarter. He is heady, thoroughly trained in his position, and instinctively a good general. His choice of plays can seldom be criticized, while his interference is exceptional. He is not as strong a defensive player as Cochrane, who has done consistent good work, accurate, quick and aggressive. The team seems to score rapidly when he is running it. He is good on the defence, a sure tackler, and his goal kicking is a feature...
