...college we should not need the petty rules which are required of the school boy. For that very reason we should assume as a matter of course the strict and uniform enforcement of the few rules we have. It is hardly to be expected that habits of promptness and obedience will be a part of a Harvard education--and they certainly ought to be when there are courses in which a report may be handed in days after it was due.

Its recognition by the Athletic...

Its eligibility rules are strict enough to keep sport on a high plane, not so strict as to interfere with its usefulness. There is at present a move on the part of certain graduates to prevent a transferred student from playing on a Harvard team any time during his entire stay here. Once admit the advantages of intercollegiate athletics, and it is difficult to see the wisdom of a rule which limits...
