...should not be underestimated, is the absence of Professor White as one of its members. The petition by the captains and managers of the major and minor teams for his re-appointment was disregarded, because it was felt that his re-appointment as a graduate member would violate the spirit of the regulations passed by the Governing Boards. Dr. Nichols, however, a professor in the Medical School and a faculty member of the old committee was appointed a graduate member of the new committee. It would seem to most of us, at least, that the same logic which made...
There is a question which we hear from time to time and which we have difficulty in answering convincingly. This question is, "Is athletic spirit dying out at Harvard?" We do not believe that such is the case, but it cannot be denied that it is rapidly becoming dormant. Now and again it appears, as before the last two football games.

This spirit will be fostered by the prevalence of the idea "that Harvard is a little nation striving against other nations, and that, as such, she requires the support of all her citizens"--which a cynic might perhaps call the Ishmaelite conception of a University. To a more friendly judgment it indicates...
...current number of the Monthly is held by Professor Schofield's article on "The Department of Comparative Literature." It is important that this new and extremely valuable department should be widely known; and Professor Schofield has here explained clearly the aims and scope of the department and the liberal spirit that underlies it. Two papers devoted to the Young Instructor, who is apparently a very disturbing character, analyze from different points of view the causes and results of his existence, and offer suggestions regarding him which will doubtless be helpful in bringing about the ultimate solution of the difficulty...
