TO CAPTAIN HUBBARD

A great tradition has grown up in the University around its football captains. Four unbroken years of victory over Yale is a record to be proud of in itself, but Harvard has come to look for more in its football captains even than the successful headship of a winning team. They have been men of outstanding ability, leaders in the finest sense of the word, inspiring to their college generation on the gridiron and off.

It is a splendid tradition the new Captain-elect steps into, and one difficult to sustain. But we congratulate Captain Hubbard of next year's team as a worthy successor to Captain Buell of the season past, and that is as high praise as it is possible to give.
