These topics are vitally connected with the welfare and happiness of the undergraduates. The CRIMSON believes Mr. Lowell stands at the beginning of a period of brilliant service to Harvard and to the high ideals of integrity, scholarship and vigorous manhood which have been nobly combined in his predecessor...
...coach is taking up the task where Coach Reid left off. By two years of untiring effort Mr. Reid succeeded in establishing an efficient system, although judged by the results of important games, its effect was not immediate. We understand that Mr. Crane does not differ radically from his predecessor in his conduct of the squad. He is, moreover, fortunate in his assistants, several of whom are familiar with Mr. Reid's methods. It is in the choice of such men that a head coach has one of his best opportunities to help the team, for it is on them...
...this deficiency in weight by their admirable offensive play. Bowman is a punter of extraordinary ability, combining in his kicks both distance and accuracy. Rockwell at quarterback is a good man for his position, but in running back kicks is hardly qualified to maintain the standard of his predecessor, De Saulles.

At the tackles, Hogan and Kinney have been used more, perhaps, than any of the others in carrying...

DeSaulles at quarterback has become a brilliant player, and is especially effective in receiving and running back punts. He also displays considerable generalship in directing plays. Of last year's backs Chadwick...
...author goes on to say: "The figures go far to show that the Harvard undergraduate is not the arrant idler he is sometimes supposed to be. On the other hand, they cannot be said to lend much support to the belief that he is more studious than his predecessor of twenty-five years ago. . . . The fact seems to be that the undergraduate studies about as much now as the undergraduate of his father's time studied." The working time of the present ordinary undergraduate could be increased, but the boy does not go to college merely to study. The public...
