The following editorial appeared in the Vanderbilt Hustler for November 13:

"Southern-bred people are prone to pat themselves on the back for the genuine hospitality that they show to strangers and to slyly imply that Northern people are not guilty of showing this same hospitality. There can be no more certain proof of genuine hospitality than that shown to the Commodores by the Harvard student body and faculty on their recent visit to the Crimson stronghold. It is true that a great part of these favors was shown by Southern men, yet the entire university population was eager to make the stay of the Vanderbilt warriors a pleasant one. No one can appreciate hospitality more than a Southern gentleman and a college student prizes it above all men. To the student body and faculty of Harvard, the Hustler wishes to extend its thanks for their courteous treatment of the Commodores. Nothing could have given more inspiration to a football player to fight for the South than the presentation of a loving cup by the Cotton Belt States Club of Harvard. While these men were Harvard men and loyal to Harvard, yet their pride in their own section of country was greater and they had to give evidence to this feeling. This cup will adorn one of the most conspicuous places in the Trophy Room which Vanderbilt must have."
