...first place, Freshmen, you are now free lances in a small world where there is nothing but your own ideals and will to bring you up. You have been dumped into a new system of education and must strain every power to stand with self-control the test of freedom. It takes a strong personality to weather the storms which are coming, but, once through unscathed, you have won the battle for success at Harvard. Cling to your ideals, though they seem but straws, and, if they are high ideals, you are safe...
...them in, imagination to give them shape, or time to act them in.' And they are no Hamlets either! For instance, while I was lecturing, a strike of street-car men was going on. I do not doubt the striking employees had their 'grievances' and sufficient cause for self-assertion; it was, however, no affair of the undergraduate world. Yet a contingent of those half-baked boys must needs side with the strikers, making stump speeches about the rights of man, and joining generally in the hullabaloo. They were unfledged Radicals. In more archaic times they would very deservedly have...
...other thing to you, and that is what we mean by accomplishing something. Are you thinking of reputation? If your idea is reputation, you will get your reward. Reputation is a fairly easy thing to get. A little judicious advertising and a little putting forth of one's self will bring a great deal of reputation.

The statement shows a total profit of nearly $28,000 as against a loss of $10,000 for the previous year. The self-supporting sports were football, baseball, and hockey. The unusual increase in expenses on the tennis courts was due to resurfacing of a part of the courts. This statement does not include the guarantees paid to visiting teams or the expenses directly chargeable to separate games. 1910-11. 1911-12 Receipts...
...This signal attainment is the direct result of more efficient, more practical management which has effected, at the same time, an increase in revenues together with more careful and judicious expenditure. It was not without misgivings as to the ability of athletics as a whole ever to be entirely self-supporting that we beheld the discouraging deficit in 1910-11, for it was explained as due in part to lack of support resulting from the total abolition of the old system of undergraduate contributions. The present report shows that it is entirely possible to live well within our athletic income...
