...athletes who will spend at least a part of the coming vacation in active training is surely deserved. By such self-imposed discipline is shown the real spirit of college athletics, the striving after an ideal of perfection which will make the team and the individual an honor to Harvard. A word also to the athletes whose training is not so rigorous as to require their presence in Cambridge may not be amiss.

...though it is true that the good is inherited rather than the bad. Unity in family does not come in common opinions, beliefs, and characteristics; it comes from a community of ideals. These ideals come from common loves--ideals of virtue and goodness taken from the mother and of honor and uprightness taken from the father. This unity of ideals in love, purity, and honor is the true family unity and can be complete with the utmost diversity in traits and powers...
