Harvard has suffered in the intercollegiate athletic world, but it remains with her and her only whether the performance of last year is to be repeated or whether Harvard is once more to claim the leadership to which she is entitled by her size, her age, and her prestige.

It is true that "we cannot live by bread alone," but bread is quite necessary. If money is to be left to the university, why cannot some benefactor not gain immortality for himself and his gift by leaving his bequest wholly under the jurisdiction of the university government...
