Saturday's football game marks to a certain extent an epoch in the development of the eleven, for Dartmouth's team was strong enough to test pretty thoroughly the progress made thus far. The result, when we think it over carefully, is not, on the whole, calculated to cause over-confidence. In comparison with the records of the other big teams, in their games played this season, it is apparent that Harvard does not stand at the top of the list, and that if she expects to do so there is plenty of work on hand for all concerned...
...career. The power of strenuous application, of assiduous mental labor, I count the next in importance. The man who is fresh while others are tired, is sure to win an advantage in the competition of the world. Another mental trait which University life ought always to develop is independent thinking. Let a man think about the thoughts of wiser men but let him think for himself. Such a man will be self-regulating-quiet but strong-minded-not to be blown about by vulgar breath.

Nor will you find any favoritism here except the favoritism of merit...
...which that editorial was written. No attempt was made to excuse a defeat before it was received, nor was the ability of the crew underrated. Indeed we believe that Harvard has a better chance to win the boat race this year than for many years past. But we also think that there has been a too general idea that the crew would win this year as a matter of course; and, believing that over-confidence has been a fruitful cause of previous defeats, we simply wish to point out that the crew has worked under conditions this year which...
