...hope it is not too late to urge all who can possibly arrange it to secure seats in the cheering section, and to show that the team is regarded, not with indifference, but with pride and confidence...
...parody on "Fair Harvard" in the last number of the Lampoon calls for some adverse comment. The writer may have intended to ridicule away the suggestion that more appropriate words could be chosen for "Fair Harvard," but his verses seem to be in extremely poor taste. Harvard may take pride in its freedom from antiquated traditions, but it is possible to carry cynicism too far. The song, which is parodied in the Lampoon, has meant much to generations of Harvard men, and it seems almost sacrilegious to distort the well-known verses to furnish sport for a few readers...
...battles on the ice, the track, and the diamond. Far off in Cambridge only the fame of the CRIMSON is heard. The score was 16 to 14.

We do not speak entirely of those self-sufficient students who pride themselves on the fact that they have never been inside Appleton Chapel, or seen the stained windows in Memorial. Nor can we admit in this case the entire truth of the adage that familiarity breeds contempt. It is more probable the somewhat confined routine of University life and the busy rush...
