...John Harvard, we thank you! In our rush of daily tasks we oft lose sight of our indebtedness to you. Yet in our every work, done fairly and joyously for our college, we are in reality paying to you deep and loyal tribute. For with the eye of truth you saw--dimly perhaps and far away--a future college of breadth and strength and forward marching progress; and believing in that ideal you gave lavishly of your, worldly store to further it. Where others saw a possibility, you clearly saw a certainty, and your sacrifice has led to our presence...
...assembled in the Yard yesterday afternoon and marched to the Stadium behind the Regimental Band to witness the first open practice of the football team. Teams A, B, and C, the second team and the second Freshmen all ran through signals at the same time, making it an impressive sight to see five elevens on the field together. During this signal practice the team, individually and collectively, were cheered and several of the songs were practised. Team B of the Freshman squad was then sent in against the second team in a regular game...
...papers have been telling us lately of the arrival of the guardsmen and of their rejoicing (comparable to that of the Ten Thousand on catching sight of the sea) as they saw once more the frost-covered Berkshire, etc., etc. They have overlooked to tell us, however, that most of these guardmen have returned too late for registration and consequently will be barred from voting How many votes will either candidate lose on this account?

The steady increase in expenses has evidently been paralleled at Yale, and the end is not yet in sight. On account of this the Yale Committee has found it advisable to limit the expensive paraphernalia and high-priced coaching systems that have come to be regarded as necessary for athletic success...
Harvard, while not ever losing sight of Princeton or Yale, may well regard the Cornell game today as important. The Cambridge team, moulded as it has been mainly from green and inexperienced material, received a shock in its recent game with Tufts, and there can be no discounting the value of the mental stimulation and confidence for the late season that may come from a satisfactory result against Cornell today...
