...rendered ineligible for athletic teams, clearly contemplates three years as the length of time in which men shall be eligible for university teams. Here at Harvard the three-year degree, which is now taken advantage of by a very considerable proportion of every class in College, is depriving the teams of many men who might add considerable strength by playing for an additional year on a team. The two things, the three-year degree which cuts down athletic eligibility to two years because Freshman year is eliminated, are not in accord...
...that the three-year rule is enforced in all our sports, it seems to me that every University team should have its prototype and training squad in the form of a Freshman team. The idea is well-known and recommended under the three-year system, and as the cross-country team has never had enough candidates, would it not be a good plan to have a Freshman team next autumn? Cornell has a very large squad of freshmen running every season, and the resulting championship teams from Ithaca would justify such a venture at Harvard. At almost all the larger...

A boy entering college is at a very impressionable, formative period. We, the teaching force, should find means to stir him intellectually, to rouse his ambition to do, and should also give him time to think, for all the new ideas...
...present; the Senior class would be unified; and the average age at graduation would be lowered with the realization of the necessity of getting into business at an early age. It should not be made impossible to be graduated in three yours, for that would be decidedly unfair to men of humble means, but the three-years degree should be made so difficult to obtain that only the diligent students could be successful...
