...country. She failed to utilize it and she failed to make it into a team. But this year Yale has equally good material and the men who know most about making it into a team are working carefully and harmoniously to do so. No one who stops to reflect on these facts will be carried away with any delusions that Harvard's chances this year are any better than usual...
Class Day is probably not the time for sombre philosophical reflection of the past in College on the future in the world. It is rather the day on which men's spirits should reflect the brilliancy and gaiety of the gathering that is swarming over the College grounds.

His brilliant achievements, his versatile scholarship, his distinguished and undeniable service to his country, reflect no small honor upon the College where he received his training and of which he is at this present moment an official. Is there a Harvard man so dead to a sense of college pride, if nothing else, as to have only a sneer and a hiss for such...
