...away his time in Boston or loafing about the clubs, when his presence and example on the crew, the nine, or the track might put Harvard to the fore, and such a man should be condemned cordially; but instead of that one hears him commiserated for being compelled to keep in training four or five months in the year. Such a spirit will never defeat Yale and Princeton. Men go out to the ball games and sit like so many dummies, almost afraid to cheer lest they may hurt their opponent's feelings, and if they do cheer...
...part of the students, yet their apathy affects the athletic men, it can not help but do so.

If the unmanly conduct of our representatives was-as it undoubtedly was-due to the orders of the captain of the team, we cannot censure him too strongly...
...After the detestable action of its nine at New Haven, comes the announcement that the class will not support the crew. We are accustomed to regard the freshman class as one to recruit the ranks of our 'varsity teams, to fill places of importance in after college years, to keep up Harvard's reputation. But of what use is a class that has in its freshman year learned no lessons of earnestness, or class and college loyalty...
