...practically the same men who won the class championship last year. Throughout the season the Senior team has shown signs of ability, but is not in good form on account of lack of practice. The Sophomores and Freshmen have been handicapped by scarcity of material, and will probably not show up well this evening...

Class organization, which today is a thousand times more effective than ever before, activity of class secretaries, more vigorous celebrations, all go to show that class spirit at Harvard today is stronger than when Harvard was itself a small college. Is not this sure evidence that there is something at work in the successive classes that binds men together for life? What is the root of it all? It certainly is not universal acquaintance...
