...snob. He did not want to know men so that in the future when they had made a success he could say, "Oh yes; I know him; he was in my class." He wanted to know men because of their worth; because their friendship might be an inspiration and help to him in College and out of it. But he only knows a limited circle--those in his club, a few who have lived near him and borrowed his books, a few men he has met casually during his four years. But most of his class is completely foreign...
...Yes, the condition demands Red Cross contributions. But let University men think a little on the theory too. Far better were it if we had never rolled a bandage or thought of an auto-ambulance, than that we were to rest satisfied with Red Cross contributions alone. If a plague were to sweep across this country, it would be necessary to care for the sick; but how much more necessary to remove the causes of that plague and prevent its recurrence. It cannot be proven, but we believe it to be a fact, that if the energy and money which...
Answers to the cards were not confined to "yes" and "no" and some interesting arguments may be quoted as throwing light upon a custom the defense of which nearly all declare is not to be based on "traditional" grounds.

Another says...
...point with which we are concerned is not the supposed strengths and weaknesses of our rivals, especially of rivals who have been famed for their "come back." We must simply ask ourselves this question: has Harvard a team to compare with teams of the past? We like to say, "Yes," and we certainly believe it, to this extent: the regular University team is as strong as any team we have seen. But Cornell's touchdown and indeed, her showing during the entire fourth period last Saturday, proved beyond a doubt that the second string players could not be relied upon...
...fictitious Harvard indifference: A senior once languidly remarked, as he entered Appleton Chapel to hear the Baccalaureate Sermon, "Well this is the first and last time I'll go in here;" and a Junior once admitted, when asked where the College Chapel was, that he did not know. Pathetic, yes, and humorous, but a kind of pathos and humor that can make hypocrites of a good many of us. For several years after compulsory Chapel was abolished, such episodes might have been expected, for a reaction is normal after any ailment. Undoubtedly the next Count at Harvard will convulse...
