...members of teams, and it would be a very unusual thing to elect any but an undergraduate captain. The exclusion for one year of all men who have been members of athletic teams in other universities was intended to discourage the migration of athletes. We do not want men who are here solely for athletic purposes. But there seems no logical reason why a student who comes for his education should not hope to make an athletic team. On the other hand, if other universities would enter an agreement to exclude graduate students, Harvard would not be likely to hold...
...into the game. Shea was one of the chief offenders in this particular and devoted himself to it so assiduously that his aid to the team or to his own position was not of a very positive nature. His work in advancing the ball was crude and showed a want of prolonged effort and judgment. Clark, at end, played with life and, as far as his own position was concerned, very commendably. In assisting the runners, however, he has much to learn before he can attain the rank of Bowditch, who gave a good exhibition on the other...

...enough in the affairs of the Society to come to the annual meeting. The vast majority of the members have not been heard from. These men join the Society because it is a convenient place in Cambridge at which to purchase most of the supplies that students need. They want quick, intelligent service, convenience in getting what they need and the chance to buy goods at lower prices than obtain elsewhere. They do not want to take an active part in the management of the Society. The clearest proof of this is the insignificant attendance at the annual meetings...
...Freshmen out of sixty. If these facts 'throw a dark light' on Boston as an educational centre, it must be remembered that courses and with the corresponding decrease of weight given to examinations--for which students may be transiently prepared by skilful coaches. Most dropped Freshmen are dropped for want of C's; and it seems harder for a lazy Freshman to get C than it was two years...
