"TO have once acted greatly," says George Eliot, "seems a reason why we should always be noble." Harvard's successes last June at Springfield and Hartford make it incumbent on those in whose hands are placed our boating and ball interests for the coming year to see that the laurels so nobly won are as nobly retained. It is our good fortune that the captains of both crew and nine remain at their old posts during the coming season, for they are both men who will not rely on the prestige of former successes to win future victories; and it is our further good fortune that six old men will sit in the next year's boat, and that seven veterans will guard the base-ball laurels twice won from Yale. The vacant places will indeed be hard to fill, but there is a host of material to pick from; and the impulse which our victories will give to athletics ought to enable Harvard to send out even a stronger crew and nine than any she has sent out for years.
