There are some who feel that it would be a wise step to force the H.A.A. to balance its budget on this year's program, to make the stringent economies which such a policy would necessitate. Such retrenchments, they feel, would tend to reduce the overemphasis on athletics, and moreover the importance of the coach. A man's independence they claim, is not improved by constant supervision. And with this consideration in mind, they argue that the H.A.A. should not be allowed to extend its budget through another year, an action which would render much easier the balancing...
...effect of such an atmosphere not only upon the Fellows themselves but upon the attitude toward scholarship of the University member graduate and undergraduate can scarcely be prophesied. Carelessly conducted the Society might conceivably tend to draw its men almost exclusively from Harvard, or favored sections of the country; it might develop into a group, characterized by intellectual snobbishness and unduly impressed with its own importance.

The percentage of superior tutors is about the same. In my experience the good student who has a good tutor is satisfied with the system, and rightly so. The mediocre student no matter who his tutor...
...such a move two years ago on the basis that an alien element would thus be introduced in the House dining halls. Undoubtedly the first reaction of a House member on entering his dining room and seeing a large table filled with the members of other Houses does not tend toward making him become more House-conscious, nor is the House spirit of men at training tables in this situation necessarily increased. Moreover, difficulties and dissension will undoubtedly arise in various quarters over the choice of Houses as sites of the training tables...
