...first game of the season with Yale, or one might more properly say, in the first game of the season with Carter. The pitching of the Yale man was a hopeless puzzle to almost every Harvard batter. Whittemore and Cook were the only men who did not strike out at all. There have been few pitchers under this year's rules who have been able to run their strike-outs into the double figures. Outside of Carter, the Yale team did not show itself any better than Harvard. When the infielders were given a chance they did not appear...
...been seen on Holmes Field this year. The playing was sharp and lively and the closeness of the contest kept the interest sustained until the last man was out.

We feel that any reform in athletics, to be satisfactory, must win the hearty support of the solid, sensible, unprejudiced students. We believe, however, that...
...referred the audience to the lexicon definition of independent and allegiance and presented the resolution in its new form: "That political action in accordance with one's own will, judgment or conscience is preferable to unswerving allegiance to party." With the resolution thus in shape he proposed to strike at the root of the matter and consider what is a man's chief duty to civil society. Without doubt it is to establish and maintain a civil government that shall promote the chief ends of civil society, life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. From this point of view...
