...many, in fact in most, of the courses in the college curriculum it is practically impossible to make a one-hour paper that will be a test of a man's work or will enable him to do himself justice. The same thing is true of a three-hour paper, but obviously in a much less degree. For although in the latter case much more ground must be covered, the papers can be made so as to involve the tendencies of principles and facts discussed in the half year's work. Furthermore, the brief time in which a man surveys...
...worthiest of the scanty number of Harvard's championships is passed over and forgotten. What is the reason of this unjust and undeserved neglect? Nothing but a feeling which pervades the college, injurious both to it and to athletics, that it is not the thing to play lacrosse. Think of it. How silly and weak the reason is which keeps men from learning this game. At Princeton, during May and June, one sees the men who will play foot-ball in the fall playing lacrosse, the best exercise in the world for foot-ball training. That is what should...

Picking out a freshman crew is a different sort of thing from that of an upper-class crew.

Then, too, besides being ignorant of the physical capabilities of the men, the captain and coach are, as a rule, unacquainted with their dispositions and tendencies-qualities which are as essential to a good oar as are the physical ones. On the whole the best thing a new man can show...
...recently circulated an urgent appeal to the members of the University for financial aid. Such an appeal we cannot afford to disregard. The committee has made a clear statement of the condition of its affairs, and everyone must see that it is a critical one. It is a sad thing when college patriotism has sunk so low as to require this question: "Will the University support its Committee and its Crew, or abandon the annual races at New London?" The college must rouse itself from this lethargy. We must support the University Crew, as they ask, and as they have...
