FRESHMAN INDIFFERENCE.

"Harvard Indifference" is a favorite phrase among the paragraphers for the college sections of the Boston newspapers. This year the term is unusually applicable to the Freshman class. In most of the competitions for managerships in previous years there have always been large numbers of Freshmen, but this year they are noticeable by their absence. This disagreeable truth makes us fear that these blase youths do not realize the importance of such positions.

The latest place where their absence has been noted is in the second assistant football managership competition. Nearly seventy men reported in the fall of 1916 for the Freshman competition. That is typical of what that position meant to other classes. The position resulting from the second assistant managership is that of football manager, one of the biggest and most responsible that can be filled by an undergraduate. The Class of 1922 must realize their responsibility. What man in that class will get the job?
