Dear Palmer-Your letter concerning the Harvard-Yale game is at hand. We think that the sentiments which you express are reasonable, and both Beecher and myself are ready to agree to them. This is the year when the game would, from the natural rotation be played in New Haven. But it is Yale's preference as well as Harvard's that the game should be played this year in New York. I don't see that this establishes the precedent of playing the game in New York at all. As far as it is in my power to judge...
...Here is a showing especially annoying in the absence of great dispute that Harvard affords the widest and most thorough opportunities for students in America. Fair minded people, I think, do not hesitate to accept the idea that Harvard has more educational advantages than Yale to offer, although they may question whether the student is as much pressed into accepting them.

...played in New York; at the same time there are very serious objections to the plan. The question is a hard one to decide, and doubtless many men will question whether the Athletic Committee has taken the right step in the matter.

The men play without a bit of snap or earnestness. They seem to think they can play hard when they choose, and at other times are at liberty to gaze around the field or do whatever else suits them best. This sort of work has lasted quite long enough and the sooner the captain and his men wake up to the fact that they...
...still more surprised when they learned that they had lost their rank in the classes and could continue residence here only as special students. We believe thoroughly in the rule which requires the students to present themselves on the day of registration, but, for one or two reasons, we think that there has been considerable harshness this fall in carrying out this rule. The number of men who have been aware of the existence of this rule has been comparatively small and in some cases disobedience has been entirely unintentional. There has been a number of other cases in which...
