...keeping a winning team in the field in spite of such discouraging conditions for practice as they have labored under. They have already won a match from Yale this term, and may hope for new intercollegiate honors in the spring and in future years. The best way to make sure of a winning team is by securing better grounds and incurring more men to go out for regular practice. It will be an advantage also to the less active members of the club and to other men interested in shooting to have a range near the college, where they...

The faults of the crew at present are a lack of life, a want of stretcher work, and a hang...
...matter of no consequence. If Harvard has chosen the right course it is her duty to pursue it. What, then, are the fundamental facts in the matter? Just these: In the past Harvard's athletics have been too important a factor in her life. The same, to be sure, is true of other colleges, but it is Harvard which we are considering now. Just as soon as men begin to come to any college exclusively for athletics, just so soon is it clear that athletics have assumed too prominent a place in the life of that college. Such has been...
