...deals kindly and mercifully with us, and it is seldom that she gives more than one great speaker or singer to one race. There is a New England proverb which says of a fastidious person-"the best is not good enough for him," and this kind of fastidiousness I think one may and should exercise in regard to books. Cum bonis ambula, said Cato speaking of men, and one may say of books, keep company with the best. It was because the men of the century from 1550 to 1650 were confined to classic society in books, that their minds...
...proved to have read. Dante in one sense fought a losing battle, for his life-long endeavor was to keep the thread of tradition unbroken, to reform through the past and not in spite of it. We Americans are apt to undervalue tradition, and for this very reason I think a study of the motives and principles of such men as Dante of great value in deprovincializing our minds.

There is, however, one addition to the list that might profitably be made, and that is a game with Exeter on their home grounds. We think it a mistake to let any athletic season pass without having a Harvard team visit both these preparatory schools...

With Soldiers Field, the conditions are different. There grandstands of the first order ought to be erected. We think that much better ones even than those on Jarvis are needed. There will be the great athletic field in the future and the event of its ever being used for other than athletic purposes is too distant to be taken into account. There is an excellent chance for some friend...
...amount of the paid subscriptions to the Frank Bolles Memorial Fund to date is $802.75. At first glance this sum seems rather disappointing, yet it represents a much larger number of subscriptions than one would naturally think. Many men who have not been able to give much have given what they could to show their interest in the Fund. No contribution is too small to be of service. The Fund will not be handed to the University authorities till June and subscriptions of any amount will be welcome at any time...
