...whom primarily are these lectures given--the ladies of Cambridge, or the members of the University? Mr. Clapp himself answered that question, I think, when, during his first lecture, he frequently and emphatically appealed to the "Gentlemen of the College," bowing at the same time, to a sea of millinery, and again tonight when he said five times "Gentlemen," and once "Ladies and Gentlemen." The floor seats closely crowded with students would indicate that these seats were reserved, but, even so, how grossly inadequate is so small a space to accommodate the large number of men who must wish...
...history of Harvard College and like institutions shows we think that from the beginning, dormitories and dining halls have been furnished by the College for the use of the students and have been regarded as devoted to College purposes. We do not think that it means any difference in principle that the College, instead of itself furnishing board provides a place without rent or compensation in any form or a lease or any agreement for a fixed term for the use of students who club together for the purpose of obtaining for themselves with the assistance of the College, food...

The Band and the Pierian already have a realizing sense of their place and duty in the University, but the other clubs could certainly do more towards promoting a healthy College spirit by giving an occasional concert in Sanders Theatre. In addition, such an evident desire to please the undergraduates would enlist their sympathy in any future moves for Christmas trips...
...cheering, which must have much encouraged their team. This was partly due, no doubt, to the fact that their cheerers were better massed, but that alone does not explain it, for the volume of the Harvard cheer was greater than that from the opposite stand. The trouble was, I think, that our "Three long Harvards and three times three" is slow, drawling, and unenthusiastic. It typifies everything which Harvard is not, although fairly representing what our enemies think...
