...recent numbers of the Bulletin I have observed, with some amusement, not unmingled with sorrow, the palpitant emotion of certain contributors to its columns anent the alarming tendency of preparatory school graduates to choose for matriculation other colleges than Harvard. The glamor of athletic supremacy, which for some years has been Harvard's, has not, apparently, resulted in an increase of applicants for admission--far from it, if the latest figures from Andover and Exeter are to be believed.

In a brief article of some two pages and a half, Mr. Camp thoroughly analyzes the relation which the spectator and the professional bear to amateur athletics in general and foot ball in particular. He considers the spectator the bane to the success of well-intended athletic legislation because with spectators victory counts...
