...acceptance of this scheme. The first of these is that as stated it offered no check to professionalism and to the return of graduates to college simply for athletics. From the stand which Harvard has already taken her position on this point is not at all doubtful. She certainly cannot afford to enter any league which does not preclude the possibility of such abuses. But stringent rules could easily be adopted to avoid this possibility, and if this were done, certainly Harvard's first objection should be answered. It remains, then, to consider Harvard's second argument against the scheme...
...conflicting; and beer is still given in the military schools, but there is little doubt that its effect is injurious rather than other wise. Before middle life, at any rate, it should be merely medicine and taken in extreme moderation. In regard to ventilation it may be said that certain recitation rooms in Harvard are very poorly ventilated, worse than the worst in Tewksbury. The Kidder Technology building was erected with a special view to good ventilation, and the instructors feel certain that the work done in it is much better than that done in the old building...
...dinner which is to be given to the eleven is admitted by all to be an admirable idea.

There has been certain ground for this division because we arrive at our knowledge by two processes-knowledge of outward things coming from observation; knowledge of inward things from personal consciousness or experience. Philosophy has sometimes endeavored to establish unity by denying one or the other of these processes; thus we have idealism and materialism. What modern thought is endeaving to do is to establish a unity of all, material and immaterial...
...Saturday was a great disappointment. The Faithful work of the eleven had led us to expect a victory and the beginning of a new era in Harvard athletics. During the first half and part of the second half our team played a wonderful game and victory seemed almost certain. The superior endurance of the Princeton team then began to count and during the last half hour the game was too one-sided to be interesting. The cause of the defeat was quite evident. Our men had not been trained to play a hard game for an hour and a half...
