...athletics, Harvard has in the past been unexcelled, and we believe would be so now if all the men who are conscious of athletic ability would come out and help on the team. Where a man does his best for the honor of his college, he shows an honorable thing, whether he himself succeed or fail. If every athletic man would come out and work, the standard of our track athletes would certainly be raised. The freshmen are specially urged to enter their class meeting. A good freshman athlete is worth more to the college than those in the upper...

No man is a Christian who lives for himself. There is a practical difficulty in being beset by temptation; but there...
...almost everybody is more or less under the weather with sore arms, legs and bodies. The candidates for the team, numbering some forty men, have been out to the field for practice every day for a week, but as yet there has been but little real playing. One thing has been established beyond a doubt, and that is that the Yale eleven this year will be inferior in several respects to that of last season. In the first place two of the best men in the rush line have gone. There seems to be no available material to fill...
