...their duty to speak. They will be gladly heard; and, at the same time that they help to heal the breach between themselves and students which is more nominal than real, they cannot fail to benefit our athletics, at least in some degree, If we can but thoroughly stir the spirit of Harvard, we may perhaps regain for her the athletic prestige which she has lost.
