...resumption of athletics last Saturday showed by the result of three victories that Harvard teams still have the ability to "tame the Tiger," which has been such a favorite pastime in former years. It has not always been an easy task to defeat Princeton and often we have failed, but our success this year has almost exceeded all expectations. There is cause for exultation in this alone. Yet the outcome of Saturday's games is gratifying not only from a competitive point of view, but also from the standpoint of its relation to this spring's formal system of sport...

...with a serious purpose to help France. Those who would plan a three months outing had best stay at home; the tourist spirit has already caused grave trouble over here. Men who are willing to come here must be ready to spend long weeks of work which may appear tame and stupid. There is very little romance in carting wounded men from a railway station to the hospital; however, one squad has carried over 9,500 sick and wounded during a period of three months. War being the uncertain game that it is, the work of the ambulances may mean...
