...communication appeared in the CRIMSON yesterday attacking the man agreement of the freshman crew. If there had not been a similar attack in your editorial column. I think that after the events of the past winter, I should not be justified in noticing it. For the benefit of others, however, I will say that early in the year, Captain Kidder asked me to coach his crew, alleging that he was having some difficulty in getting men to help him. Finally, Mr. Carpenter and I assisted him in laying out a plan for the work of his crew. One feature...
...claim for the University any extraordinary development in spirituality. But, as Mr. Vrooman says, "there is here unusual vigor of religious life;" the religion of the college is, unquestionably, thoroughly healthy and reverential, and of great depth. The scoffer is an unknown quantity, for unbelievers find nothing to attack because they find no one creed upheld and championed. The ministers of the University preach Christ, not theology. There is an agreement in condemnation of all cant and austerity; all exaggeration, undue emotionality and misrepresentation of feeling. The attitude towards religion is one of common sense and concession; and an attitude...
...Although six members of last year's team graduated last year and have not as yet returned to college, nevertheless Princeton's outlook is very favorable, unless Harvard develops an exception ally strong team. By the graduation of Hodge, Church, Blackwell, Talcott, Nicholson and Bliss, two places on the attack, two on the defence, and goal and coverpoint are left open. The men have been practicing all fail and winter, as long as the weather permitted, and have played quite a number of games. In these games Browning, '89, Uebelacker, '89, Voorhes, '90, Taylor, '89, Chapin, '90, Payne...
...behalf of the good name of college journalism we feel called upon to commend heartily the Crimson's dignified reply to the recent sneering attack upon Harvard's athletic methods, in the Columbia Spectator. It is in very bad taste, to say the least, for a paper of the standing which the Spectator has always held hitherto, to ridicule the defeats of another college, and to make the spiteful accusations that it does. We cannot understand the spirit that has prompted the Spectator in these attacks upon other colleges, and are sure it is not that of the better element...
Under the head of "Wah! Wah! Wah! Harvard," is published in the last number of the Spectator, a piece of writing remarkable for its unprecedented character, in that it is a discourteous, ignorant, and even vulgar attack upon Harvard methods in athletics. Worse than the sneer at Harvard's ill-success of the last three years, is the implied accusation of insincerity on the part of the of the leaders in athletics. We do not wish further to characterize the article in question. Harvard men may read it for themselves...
