Since the aim of collegiate training is to develop good citizens, there can be no doubt that student regulation of student activities is not only desirable but necessary. And if student government is practicable anywhere, it is practicable in Harvard. The variety of interests, the lack of petty jealousies, the cosmopolitanism, that very "indifference" and "lack of college spirit," which consists of having one's own opinions on collegiate as on other matters,--in short, all those qualities which make our University great as opposed to provincial insure the success of any well launched scheme of undergraduate self-government...
...they have the support of the student body, the members of the Council can exercise and develop their powers in such a way as to make student government a very real thing. If they have not that support, they can do nothing. It is by the will of the people that the machinery of all free, living governments has been developed; and no one, be he czar or privy councillor or member of the Student Council, can develop a genuinely good government without the co-operation of the governed. It is, therefore, incumbent upon the students to show an interest...
...side scored in the first scrimmage, nor was either goal threatened. Both teams played hard and fast and each seemed perfectly able to gain through the other's line. Fumbling was much in evidence, and the play ragged and disjointed at times. Several good formations were used that will develop into sure ground-gainers with sufficient practice. The forward pass was worked with perfect success once, and failed another time. The line-up follows: FIRST ELEVEN. SECOND ELEVEN. Groves, l.e. r.e., Clifford Dowey, l.f. r.t., Holt Fisher, Kelly, Douglas, l.g. r.g., Strong Knapp, c. c., C. Amory Blake...
...small. Blumer, who won a place in the 220-yard dash in both the Yale and intercollegiate meets this year, and R.C. Foster of the Freshman team are better in the longer dash than in the 100-yards. It will take a great deal of hard work to develop enough sprinters to bring the team up to the average in these events. The outlook in the quarter and half-mile runs is brighter. Merrihew and deSelding are closely matched in the former, while Jaques of the Freshman team and Whitcher should again give the University the advantage over Yale...
...start. The fact that Harvard rowed a slower stroke than Annapolis throughout the race speaks for itself. In the Cornell race the Harvard crew out did itself in most inauspicious water. Thus when the eight went to the Thames this season, it was in a much more fully developed state than it had been for a number of years. Fish's suspension will handicap the crew enormously, but the new combination may develop good speed by Thursday...
