...question at stake is by no means a trivial one. The central states are growing far more rapidly than the eastern in population, in wealth and in culture. Is Harvard to continue year by year to lose her grip on this most vital section of the country, and to become a provincial college with provincial short-comings? Without casting slurs upon Massachusetts, I am free to say that it is the West that Harvard should look for new material in each new class; and yet the West, with a vastly larger population than in 1894, has diminished representation by nearly...

Probably more men will be disabled and then not time enough is left to recuperate. I am not supposing that perfection can be attained without practice and practice games, nor asking that Harvard be spared, but I believe the team gets too much hammering just before the important...
