These rules seem fully to cover the requirements. They eliminate all kinds of professionalism, exclude all but bona fide students in good standing, and minimize the chance of coming to Harvard with athletics as the primary purpose. By them six 'varsity men who are still in college and would care to go into athletics, are excluded. They are Frothingham, Upton, Abbott, Sullivan, of the nine; Fearing, of the crew and Mott Haven team; Lewis, of the eleven. Frothingham, Upton, and Fearing have been on Harvard teams four years. Abbott played on the Dartmouth nine, Sullivan and Lewis came from Amherst...

Doubtless they seem to very many of the students to have no special meaning beyond their intrinsic value.

In the present case the other articles are fortunately more interesting, except that six of the seven editorials treat of football matters, which now seem somewhat...
...fair, but as yet there is no promise of a good crew. The men who are trying do not take enough interest in their work. They row on the machines day after day without making any progress or getting over any of their faults. Hardly any of them seem really to try to find out what their weak points are and then to improve themselves. They do not seem to be able to take in what the coach tells them. They are still at work trying to get hold of the rudiments of body work and learning to hold...
