...They could accomplish much both in the improvement of the cheering itself and in keeping down a tendency which occasionally crops out and which, if not nipped in the bud, is likely to result unfortunately. In every game we wish to show the true Harvard spirit, but there is particular need of care and self restraint when we meet Yale. The feeling then is strong and the crowds are critical. There ought to be men appointed who will use their influence to see that nothing occurs again to mar the good name of the University...
