...colleges, his own alone excepted, and who has cheered its athletes upon all such occasions, I feel a right to direct your attention to your own lack of generosity and to express the hope that that sentiment is not the Harvard sentiment but only the immature sentiment of the writer. I do not care to discuss the various contests which certainly do not show it to be a disgrace for Harvard to have been tied by Yale, nor do I presume to criticise your judgment that a score against Pennsylvania is reason enough for the resumption...

His advice as to regular exercise for football men throughout the year can not be taken too seriously. The Editorial on the University Club strikes the right...
...your issue of the 30th inst. there appeared a communication opposing the scheme. The writer says: "If it can be said that they (the present clubs) do not provide for everybody, the new organizations should be made." The present clubs do not provide for everybody, for there is a certain class of men who earnestly wish to get practice in debating, but whose abilities are not sufficient to gain for them admission into the Forum or Union on account of the great competition for membership. If admission to the Union and Forum was open only to undergraduates more men would...
