...becoming common for men to say that Harvard athletics are in a bad way and to treat them on this account with indifference. There is nothing which will more surely doom Harvard athletics not only to be but also to remain in a bad way than such treatment. Causes enough there are which play a part in bringing defeat, but we believe that none is more fatal than a weakness in the University spirit. The men on the teams never would work as they now do if they were simply a number of athletes joined into teams for their...

"A New England Mystic," by Carleton E. Noyes, gives some comment on the character of Jones Very, but largely as it showed itself through his poetry. "The Elizabethan and the Greek,- a Study in Lyric Poetry," by E. K.
