Suppose that Harvard is permitted to play but four or five games on each schedule. We do not think that this is an exaggerated statement of the contemplated move. What then will be the result? We shall be at an overwhelming disadvantage, we shall be unable to compete with any measure of success, and finally intercollegiate athletics at Harvard, the greatest binding and unifying force we have, will tend...
...another disadvantage, similar to the one resulting from the long period of restless changing of coaches that has accompanied an effort to maintain a policy (if such it may be called) that is incompatible with those of our competitors. The new football committee, appointed by Captain Burr, is a move toward permanence in the branch of sport that needs it most, and just as we begin to see light ahead we are confronted by a scheme that, if adopted by Harvard alone, as it is too likely to be, will place us in a worse position than we have...

The inertia of a new idea will operate to retard its progress, as well as the absorption of the natural leaders of such a move by other interests.

It should be so conducted that newly-arrived foreigners will feel that an active interest is felt in them by more than the College...

I could wish there were less alliteration, and a less conspicuous contrast between the homeliness of "celebrate" and "move along," and the ornateness of "snow-jacinth" or the elegance of "wain." It might be said further that a "purple vale" cannot be situated exactly "amid the clouds"; that "carolling and song" are one and the same thing; and that "the hills are gold--for children's voices hall...
