...college reason to be proud of it in any respect save in its football victory last fall! After the detestable action of its nine at New Haven, comes the announcement that the class will not support the crew. We are accustomed to regard the freshman class as one to recruit the ranks of our 'varsity teams, to fill places of importance in after college years, to keep up Harvard's reputation. But of what use is a class that has in its freshman year learned no lessons of earnestness, or class and college loyalty...

...material from which to recruit our crews and teams will, it is fair to suppose, be supplied by men whose ambition prompts them to give their time to training, and there is no reason for fearing that the reputation of the college for special athletics will ever suffer from a lack of candidates for the honors of the field and track. But the greater part of the freshman class will take no part in these college games, and not one man in five, probably, will ever see his name in print in connection with any athletic event during his entire...
