...athletics whatever on the part of the faculty. They want Yale's policy adopted here. But our faculty has settled that question once for all by establishing the Athletic Committee, and those gentlemen may as well take Harvard as she is, or go to Yale. Next come those who think foot ball all right as it is, or think the convention would have made whatever improvement can and need be made. These are few in number, and are not very fond of supporting their views with sound arguments. Then comes a large proportion of the students, who agree very nearly...

The conditions are wholly different. Consider, gentlemen, what you are doing, and also explain the peculiar distinction you make between a professional (!) such...
...said that Mr. Watson, of the advisory committee, has promised to coach the crew occasionally. With all due respect to Mr. Watson's ability and past services, it must be said, that Mr. Bancroft is a better coach. This opinion, we think, has been held by the captains and crews during the last four years. Furthermore, Mr. Watson would probably not appear more than once in one or two weeks...
