...Harvard is to win this year the interest which has been so great in former years should not be allowed to flag, especially when the other universities are making unusual efforts to defeat her. Thus far the interest of the students, we think, has not been as great as it should have been. The reputation of Harvard in debate is a splendid one. She can show an absolutely unbroken record of victories, and every student in the University should feel a personal interest in keeping this record as clear...

His text was taken from St. Luke XII, 40: "Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not." Mr. Crothers pointed out the necessity of being prepared to meet temptations which come in an unexpected form. The battle ship which goes to sea is proof against the missiles of the enemy, but founders in a heavy storm. So it is with human beings-they succumb to those temptations for which they are not prepared...
