When a man comes to Harvard and enrolls himself as a Harvard student, he takes upon himself the responsibility of keeping up the good name of the University. This is no empty or nominal responsibility, but an absolute command of honor that where a man is in any position to pose as a representative of Harvard he must behave himself like a Harvard gentleman. This all important principle was thrown aside yesterday in a way that is more than likely to do a great deal of harm to the University. The men who made such a disgraceful spectacle of themselves...
...their deeds through those who suffered and struggled with them. The beauty of a memorial service held by the college within the walls of Memorial Hall has appealed so strongly to certain of the students that a committee has arranged to bring young Harvard and old Harvard together to honor the memory of their common brothers. The meeting is fortunately to be led by him to whom the present Harvard generation owes so much of its love and veneration for those who fell in the war, Major Higginson...

When such associations as the H. A. A., the foot ball, or the base ball managements issue life membership or season tickets which are non-transferable, they have to rely very largely upon the honor of the college. It is, of course, expected that every man who buys a season ticket to the base ball games or joins the H. A. A. will keep his ticket to himself. Conversely it is expected the one who has not invested in such a ticket will not make use of the ticket of anyone else, thus making one ticket do double service. Unfortunately...
