...second annual debate with Princeton takes place in Sanders Theatre. We wish the Harvard speakers success; but whatever the result of the debate may be, they should accept it with philosophy, feeling sure that their efforts have been appreciated by the University and that their fellow students are proud of their work. Today, however, we are unwilling to consider any but a successful outcome of the debate. We have the greatest confidence in the speakers who are to represent the University, and we look forward to seeing another victory added to Harvard's already unbroken record...
...gold and silver in the performance of that function. Until more is known about the cave of Machpelah than history has banded down, the statement that Abraham paid four hundred shekels for it throws but a faint light on the purchasing power of money in his time; while the proud boast that King Solomon "made silver to be in Jerusalem as stones," though enough to make Senators Jones and Stewart rank infidels, does not even suggest a ratio...

The etiquette with regard to all these colors-and in fact all club colors-is strict, and in consequence the most famous "blue" is proud to wear his insignia. At Harvard the 'varsity blazer was long ago relegated in consequence of vulgar misappropriation, the red sweater is following it, and now the letter H has started on the downward path. The English system is of course frankly aristocratic, but it does insure to an athlete...
