...needless to enlarge on the advantage of having a large crowd of Harvard men present at the game, as this is self-evident. The freshmen should not be content to rest on the one victory they have won, but should endeavor to win the series, and give Yale to understand that the Harvard freshmen have broken the charm of Yale's success. It is unfortunate that their university men should have been obliged to play so many games immediately preceding the game today, but this fact should only lead the nine to rely upon themselves as a whole...
...easy to understand how the mistake has been made. Naturally each college has an ambition to raise its standard. Each professor for his own reputation's sake seeks to 'bring up' his branch of study. Whether the boy has physical strength or mental capacity to bear the strain put upon him is not considered. If not, let him go. The standard of work required is set by the capacity of the abnormally gifted or toughest student. Now the fact is that the mass of pupils in any school are not particularly clever nor physically strong. But they, too, have their...

...even if the freshmen do not win the game they can rest assured that they are not placed in the unenviable position of the defeated Yale freshmen. What that position is, it is almost impossible for a Harvard man to understand. The Courant confesses that, in case of defeat, the existence of the freshmen throughout their college life would have been a miserable one. "As to the 'result,' had our freshmen met defeat, we can form no conception. No class now in college ever knew of such a deplorable state of affairs. Yale is the wrong place for the unsuccessful...
