...always been the case that Yale has played better under a spur of this sort and this has been, perhaps more prominently than anything else, the distinguishing feature between Harvard and Yale teams. Admitting that in the end the fact of Pennsylvania's goal will be a source of profit to Yale, what effect will it have on Harvard? The team has seen Yale's weak points and knows that today she can be scored against. There is danger that the players may forget that the conditions may be very different at the end of two weeks. The point...
...these, and perhaps the most striking, is music. We have one of the best halls in the country for orchestral music and we have during the year a series of concerts by the Boston Symphony Orchestra and all this provided with a view to the pleasure and profit of the students. Yet the students as a whole take surprisingly little interest in these concerts. Of all the tickets sold it is doubtful if over ten per cent get into students' hands.

...look after rowing matters at Harvard is incorrect. Mr. Courtney was engaged for two weeks only. It was hoped that in that time he could offer such suggestions and impart such information in regard to rowing and the rigging of the boat that the crew and coach might profit thereby during the coming year. Mr. Courtney has accomplished very much in his short visit. Captain Davis, Coach Perkins, Blake '94, Davis '95, Fennessy '96, Townsend '96 and Eddy '95 have been on the river twice a day for the last two weeks. During this time much has been learned, especially...
...comment upon the work of the nine and consequently take this last chance to extend the heartiest thanks of the University to Captain. Frothingham for his able and conscientious management. He has filled his position with the utmost satisfaction and in a way by which others can well take profit. To Colonel Winslow and Mr. Smith, Harvard also owes a great deal. Both have shown themselves intensely interested in our welfare and for their effective coaching we feel profoundly grateful. The players themselves have, for the most part, worked with earnestness and a real appreciation of what is demanded...
