...members of the regiment and the 2,200 men that took part in summer drills are sufficient proof that Harvard's stand on the question of preparedness is more than a mere hasty expression of opinion. It is an opinion which Harvard stands ready to translate, has indeed already translated, into actual deeds. Her acts no less than her words have proved that she is more than willing to bear her full share of even the most comprehensive plan for national defence...
...presented, such discussion was impossible. There were only four days between the receipt of the first dispatch from Washington and the date set for the testimony of the delegates sent by the various colleges. Obviously, then, there was no time for wide debating on the subject.

If present reports develop into facts it would be well for our university and college authorities to take some radical stand against the innovation. It is not clear what they could do to protect their young men from the pernicious influences; but as least they could wipe out a feeding ground for the professional sport by abolishing the game altogether...
