Garber Privately Tells Faculty That Harvard Must Rethink Messaging After GOP Victory
This afternoon marks the beginning of the really big days of sport at the University after the war. On track and diamond, Princeton is going to be met by Harvard teams inspired by the old time ante-war spirit.
That new heart has been put into the baseball team was shown conclusively by the Amherst game in which the nine worked like a machine. That track is much stronger than it was last week is shown by the return of several stars who were off the field in the Yale meet. The schedule has been so arranged that the baseball game should be finished by the time the track meet begins, thus affording a double entertainment to spectators. The added feature of a band and parade before the game should draw anyone to Soldier's Field who otherwise might have hesitated. There is no excuse, except sickness, for undergraduates not being there. This year must set a precedent to those following. If we do nothing in the way of welding the College into a sense of unity, the men who come here in later years will feel no obligations to the University, and Harvard will sink slowly into an overgrown day-school, where men come and go with no thought of anything but themselves. With this object of educating the lower classes into a realization of Harvard spirit, the baseball mass meeting was held. And it was a great success as far as it went. The men who were there made the roof of the New Lecture Hall shake. But there weren't enough of them. There must be more at the events this afternoon.
We were told at the mass meeting by those in authority that the baseball team would come through with a victory. Let us do our share and flood the cheering section.
