...general health and vigor? Of course in the case of our big teams or crews, where the strain is most severe, men do not try for them for their health, but to "make" the team, and for the honor and advancement to be gained thereby. And this is certainly worth some risk, as are also the lessons of experience and self-denial, and the spirit of co-operation, that must be learned. In the matter of health alone I think it open to grave doubt, as to whether the men who actually take part in the most strenuous...
Aside from the editorial, the number contains four poems, two book-reviews and three stories. Of the poems, perhaps the most considerate treatment--and for a reader the most profitable treatment is to pass them by. "The Story of a Diamond Ring," by G. C. St. John, is hardly worth its seven pages of space; it has an original and interesting plot, which might have been the foundation for a good story of less length, but is not capable of giving vividness to column after column of dialogue, description and rather inefficient character portrayal.

Under present conditions the students of Harvard are obliged to see outsiders who have bought their tickets from speculators seated in good seats, while the officers of instruction and administrators of their Alma Mater, the men who make Harvard an institution worth going to and worthy cheering for are hidden away in remote corners. The present arrangement is not true to higher principles, is humiliating to Harvard, and at variance with collegiate sport. Unless we adhere to these principles, I admit that the athletic contests are not collegiate contests at all, but professional games carried on by a society...
