...possible in such courses as sophomore and junior themes. There are not many men who would be guilty of such an act, and in any case such men are not the ones who are much benefited by their sojourn at Harvard, nor the ones whom the college wishes to attract.

It is but natural to expect that the more intellectual arts and sciences will be absorbed in unobtrusive silence, and that their achievement will not attract any notable share of public attention, and that base-ball and boat racing will be studied with a fervor which cannot but trumpet the accomplishments of their classic followers to the notice and admiration of an expectant world. Local pride leans more kindly toward the victories of brawn than towards those...
