...these games it is true we were so far ahead and in another so far behind that this failure to kick goals did little more than alter the relative size of the score. But in two of these games the Harvard lead was so small that a goal from the field would have sufficed to turn the tables; in two it practically took away all chance of tying the score; in the Pennsylvania game of last year it made us lose the pluckiest game I have ever seen on a football field. It is true that in the last game...
...decline "to alter" your remarks as to the crew management we would call your attention again to the main statements on which you base your entire article, namely, that the class crews cause no extra expense to the 'Varsity and that the charges made are therefore an "oppression."

Let us consult our reason as to what is best, and then exert ourselves as citizens with all our might...

The attempt has, we think, met with considerable success; but it is hopeless to expect that through the news columns of a daily can be made to appear the relative importance which intellectual work plays in the life of a college. The public, which draws inferences from the proportion of space devoted to different subjects, must come to false conclusions; and none will be more false than that which makes little...
