...perhaps, unfortunate that Professor Clemen's lectures here this half-year have been of a nature to appeal to a restricted class of men. Through no fault of the representative from Germany we have been unable to accord him the reception which his reputation and services would justify. His courses have, however, been of inestimable value to the men who have been able to profit by them; and we hope that he will not leave Cambridge with the impression that his efforts have met with poor appreciation. The professors who come to us from Germany offer subjects which, under...
...true that the size of Harvard and the diversity of interests here render impossible the sort of a reception which a smaller college could offer; but the present condition of affairs is due rather to irresponsibility of managers and lack of well-directed assistance than to any fundamental fault...

...direct responsibility for constantly falling short of success should be placed rather on the general scheme of management than on the head coach of each particular season. It is generally admitted that the principal fault of our football policy is lack of permanence. This will continue as long as the selection of the head coach rests upon the judgment of the captain alone. It is fundamental that change in control brings change of policy, and the first step in the direction of permanency in coaching is to procure permanency in appointment. Now it has been suggested that a permanent committee...
