...there was a great deal of speculation as to the reasons for this step. Some said that Harvard and the Boston Athletic Association conspired to defeat Yale by insisting on a short run, but that they were foiled by Yale's withdrawing from the meet. Others volunteered the extraordinary opinion that Harvard foresaw defeat, and decided to cancel the race. Of course these rumors were all wrong. Yale had prepared a relay team for a two-mile run, while the Harvard team was trained for less than half that distance. The officials of the meet then announced that to save...
...whole it seems as if the composer had set himself a difficult problem to maintain the thread of continuity without the aid of a closer adherence to conventional form. In substance, however, this work is so interesting as to demand another hearing before attempting a more authoritative opinion.

We are supposed to be proceeding at present on a platform of reduction. The Faculty has expressed its opinion that a considerable curtailment would be wise and there have been varying estimates as to what the limits of the reduction should be. It seems only practical from the athletic standpoint to bring about such a change fairly gradually, rather than attempt to reach the final basis by one wholesale...
