...college did not show that they cared enough for the existence of their crew to back up the glee club and contribute even the price of a ticket. The concert may have come at a bad time of the year it is true, but the college must learn some time or other that if it ever wants to accomplish anything it will have to undergo a little self-sacrifice. There probably is not a man in Harvard who would not call it the greatest shame if the crew were prevented from going to New London merely because the students were...

To play by spurts will never accomplish much, while it weakens the work of the nine as a whole and developes laziness. It is too early to expect the team play to be what it ought...
