...vehemently, but , both benefits and evils alike, even they must admit that the Daily errs in its supposition that selection of an outside man to govern the refereeing in this one game is in any way an indication of a conference spirit. The plan is, if properly analyzed, in exact coordination with the objectives of football reform and is therefore antipathetic toward anything which would tend to increase the importance of intercollegiate football, already a giant in all parts of the country, as opposed to intramural...
This proposal, or at least its spirit, for such radical departures demand exact scrutiny before acceptance, is heartily commendable. As the geographical ratio of student enrollment has extended, so should the enrollment in Board of Overseers. It is not that a Board made up entirely of Boston or Cambridge graduates would not prove as effective as one whose membership included graduates from between the two coasts; men attaining the honor of Overseerships have Harvard's interests too close at heart to neglect her welfare or to ignore any one of her many compound parts.

...various considerations, a discussion whose exact nature would add nothing to this dissertation, the night before last marked the initial appearance of the Vagabond in person at the Pops, although, during the last two weeks he has often urged others to attend, and wished that he might go himself. Be that as it may, as he sat at one of the tables with an accomplice in crime sipping near dear out of glass lily-sups, and munching pretzela to the tune of one thing or another, he could not help letting his imagination transport him some 3000 miles in space...
