...born of a singleness of purpose and a forgetting of time and space. For over thirty years some of these men have strode along on a certain. November afternoon to witness John Harvard and the Bull Dog play their game, not only for supremacy in strength, but supremacy, in sportsmanship. Others are in the flush of expectation that comes from the first experience. Across the Lars Anderson Bridge the crowd pours like sparkling champagne down the stem of a slender glass...
Through intramural athletics the Department of Physical Education tries to interest the student in both team and individual games.

There was in that unselfish action of his the spirit that inspires men to things of which they knew not they were capable. And in the recognition of that spirit there is recognition also of that harmony of body, athletics, and the men who teach its laws...
