...team captains credit for right motives and sound judgment we should see a year successful in every way. The CRIMSON cordially welcomes every man and only suggests that we shall be much better friends to each other and to Harvard if we force ourselves to cheer rather than find fault with our representatives, to build rather than destroy, and to remain each man in his own place...
There has been a good deal of talk lately about the poor condition of the back nets on the Jarvis tennis courts and most of the talk has been fault finding. Most of the nets are made of two wire screens placed one over the other. In the first place this does not make a back net high enough to stop the balls and moreover screens are in many places not held together sufficiently tight to keep the balls from going between them. Then again there are several places where the nets are in taters and are of practically...

Some rowing has been done in fours and in the pair oars so that the coach could give more attention to correcting the individual faults of the men.

Of the twenty-four putouts, five were on strike-outs, three on foul balls, two on pop-flies to the infield, for on high hits to outfield...
...Christ's invitation to "drink of the water of life freely." What makes a man is his will power - power which he must exercise over himself. If a man is offered an education and goes to college, yet does not improve the opportunity offered him, it is surely his fault; and so it is with us; if God offers us eternal life and we choose an evil one, the blame rests upon us. God never violates a man's free will; he can only stir up his soul to action and if that action is not for virtue, he alone...
