...reforms which the Harvard Dining Association has adopted deserve no little commendation. The long, early line of applicants at Memorial every fall, and the laxity with which the strictness of the line was adhered to made the old system not only very inconvenient but often even unfair. As the men in college were in Cambridge every spring, it seemed going very far out of the way and putting the men to a great deal of extra trouble to to make them come back again before college opened and making them go through the inconvenience of standing in line in order...
...this is played at first and finished, what interest is left for the succeeding games of the series? It is decidedly an anticlimax. But if on the other hand nothing is assumed as to the outcome of the games played on home grounds, then it is manifestly unfair that the last game should be played on the grounds of one of the contesting teams...

...Athletic Committee was willing to allow Yale to name the place of one foot ball game, if two were played annually. But Yale insisted that only one should be played annually, and that in New York. The negotiations therefore fell through, as such an arrangement would clearly be unfair both to the undergraduates and to the Boston graduates. In track athletics a model arrangement has been made with Yale for future contests, and Yale is allowed to name the place of meeting every other year...
