There is genuine fire in the poem entitled "The Game," by F. B. T. '13. Instruments of precision would doubtless show, in the case of any reader, measurable results on his respiration, circulation, and muscular tension, thus taking the question of the merit of the poetry out of the field of opinion and into the field of fact. The magnitude of the results thus measured, however, would depend in part upon the sensitiveness of the reader, and in part upon his experience in the game...

Enthusiasm should never be allowed wholly to supplant reason; it has its proper place and time when displayed in a proper degree. Gentlemanly and rational conduct is always required of Harvard men, and enthusiasm which is destructive to furniture and productive...
