Among his other wise sayings Aristotle remarked that man is by nature a social animal; and it is in order to develop his powers as a social being that American colleges exist. The object of the undergraduate department is not to produce hermits, each imprisoned in the cell of his own intellectual pursuits, but men fitted to take their places in the community and live in contact with their fellow...
Quarterback is, as last year, the position which is the most unsettled and the coaches must develop one from untried material. D. V. O'Flaherty '10 is a heavy and exceedingly fast man and seems to be developing rapidly. S. Galatti '10, substitute quarter last year, and R. B. Wigglesworth '12 are also doing fast work. The back-field is fairly well settled with H. C. Leslie '11 and H. F. Corbett '11, two of the halfbacks on last year's team, and W. M. Minot '11, who was ineligible last fall but played fullback on the second team throughout...

Mr. Reid then praised Mr. Haughton for his devotion in coaching the team again after winning...
Among other things, the victory showed that Harvard has two of the best track coaches in the country. We knew all along that Coach Quinn would develop some good men in the field events, but Coach Donovan had never been in charge of a Harvard track team before this spring. The result is as much of a triumph for him as for the members of the team, for without a good coach it is certain that no such good showing would have been made. It is encouraging to know that both coaches and most of the men on the team...
