...Harvard attempts to limit as much as possible faculty coaching, but refuses to put any limitation whatever on the eligibility for debating team of any student, no matter what the character of his studentship may be. I have this year no connection with Yale, except as a graduate; last year I was a member of the "faculty" in the broad sense in which the word includes all whose names are on the list of officers. Is there any reason why I could now legitimately do what would have been illegitimate last year, or would the case be altered...
...crippled and of little or no avail? Why is it necessary to use up the team in practice and by contests with unimportant teams just before the great games of the year?

The conditions and handicaps of the match will be announced Monday...
...mistaken to represent a "set," the over-sensitiveness of others too ready to see and suffer a slight, the imaginary line between "society" and "non-society" men, and the underlying jealousies existing among the clubs themselves, are the chief causes which disunite the Harvard classes and greatly limit the sympathetic intercourse of their members which would make so full the pleasure and advantage of undergraduate days. These causes are not natural to a body of intelligent, well-bred and well-disposed young men, and would be eradicated if those who suffer them to exist, knowing their exact nature, would direct...
