...great trouble here at Harvard is the lack of "team play" among the right minded. There are many who have the best interests of the University at heart, but their efforts are less successful because they lack union. As time goes on, the tendency to deeper thought acquires greater strength. This is shown by the increase, this year, in the attendance at the services at Appleton Chapel, and by the greater receptivity and responsiveness of the students present at these exercises.

...they please all the way, and thus dispense with a master of hounds. This, of course makes the fast hunt the easier of the two, as a man is not obliged to keep with the crowd, but can set his own pace in harmony with his own strength.

...some inexplicable reason a number of men refused to express their preference. The status of all but 18 of them, however, was ascertained from the published list of members of the republican club. Assuming that these 18 are Harrison men, as they probably are, Harrison men, Harrison's strength is 89 to Cleveland...
