...complaint has been made that there was no mill in which was ground out players for the 'Varsity nine. The class games are good in their way and are a step in the right direction. They are, however, wholly inadequate to meet the needs of the time. What we want is an organization which will be able to take reasonably good material and produce something worthy of the 'Varsity nine. It will be a reserve force, to be called upon in time of emergency, having as its ruling idea the perfecting of promising candidates. Such an organization the present management...
...great want, therefore, as suggested by the writer of above-mentioned letter, is a collection of illustrations of the masters which can be used by all students. Copies and engravings are far too valuable to be available for such a collection, but photography has supplied the means of forming a comparatively cheap, yet none the less useful collection of pictures.

Such childish manifestations only prove that they are not fit to come to college, but should have another year or two at the primary school. We do not want such overgrown babies at Harvard. They should remember that to insult an instructor in the performance of his duty is a very low and despicable form of wit. Moreover, it will not be tolerated here. The freshmen had better take this warning to heart...
...press. Most of the notices can be written in a few lines, whereas we often receive them full of superfluous words and sentences, making enough for half a column, and giving us the choice of cutting them down or leaving them out-and we wish to do neither. We want the CRIMSON to be a convenience and a help to our readers; but we shall feel greatly obliged if they, in return, will use a little consideration and not send us in twenty lines what they could just as well...
