...Anglo-Saxon understanding, but hardly to purchase our acquiescence in a war policy pursued on a continent to which, happily, the Monroe Doctrine does not extend. The announcement in Parliament the other day that England alone had sided with us in the Spanish war was made not to offset any rising collegiate feeling in America, but, it is presumed, as an effort to offset the effect of Prince Henry's visit...
Behind the line, Marshall, Kernan and Graydon should hold their positions. L. J. Daly '03 and D. A. Baldwin '03 seem to be the next strongest candidates for quarter, with the chances in favor of the former, whose strength on the offense and ability to drop-kick more than offset the latter's strong defensive work.

Mackay '04 are reliable halfbacks. It is possible...

A sonnet by W. Bynner is almost unintelligible to the average mind; perhaps the author understands...
Harvard has the nucleus for a strong track team next year. Several of the most valuable men will not return to College, but their loss will be largely offset by the abundance of promising material which remains, including not only many of the point winners in this yea 's meets, but a large number of candidates who need only a little experience to develop them into creditable performers...
