...hockey season is short, covering but six or seven weeks, it takes few men away from Cambridge at any time, offers an excellent mode of outdoor exercise, has none of the abuses of other sports, employs no professional coaches, has few injuries, and gives the required amount of outside interest during a period when college life is extremely dull. We do not wish to see the baseball or football schedules cut down, but it would seem far wiser to take off some of their many games than make a total abolition of so excellent a sport as hockey...
...Athletic Committee requiring the minor teams to be self-supporting. This rule, the writer contends, has done exceedingly little good and a great deal of harm, especially in promoting a competitive system of subscription-soliciting among aspirants to the position of team managers.

Besides being a fluent speaker he has written a number of treatises on his art and several books which have attracted much favorable attention...
...dormitories in Cambridge equipped and managed in such a way, that the standard of dormitory living and the rentals shall not greatly vary in any of the buildings. This would have to be done either through sole ownership of all dormitories by the Corporation, or through some other mode of control, but preferably through ownership. It would necessitate a great financial outlay and a large special endowment for the Corporation to carry out the work of re-organization, to bring its present dormitories up to a reasonable standard of modern comfort, and then to be enabled to rent at reasonable...
