...Harvard football player declared after the Princeton game that the greatest thrill he ever experienced was when the team was cheered at the Princeton locker building for its 3 to 0 victory. This is proof to every Harvard man that his spirit will tell in the Yale game. Every vestige of over-confidence has been wiped out of the College during the last two weeks. Harvard is now going to show her spirit in a mass meeting and parade. The thought that the Stadium has never seen Yale defeated has galled us long enough. It is time that the prophecy...

They play an important part in undergraduate life. But how many Harvard men will tell you they are going into political life or the public service? Very few. Hardly a man!" Mr. Adams repeated. "They'll tell you they're going into business, which means into Wall Street, a broker's office, or anywhere and everywhere that they can make money; but politics and a public career are looked at askance.
