...This question has perhaps puzzled many students other than those who have come to me and asked it. Mr. Ford, himself, did not answer it, and I shall not try to do so. I shall, however, attempt to relate briefly the activities of the students and their connection with the Expedition, and leave it to the reader to draw his own conclusions as to the purpose which Mr. Ford had in view in taking with him a group of forty students from almost that many colleges and universities scattered throughout the United States...
Since the ineligibility of the five Yale baseball players was declared last fall, there has been a steady growth of sentiment in favor of their re-instatement. Unprejudiced observers are convinced that the men disqualified were not guilty of any attempt to break the athletic rules. It had been a continued custom for some Yale men to play baseball for their board at the summer camp in question; like most athletes, they had not read the rules, and were ignorant of the fact that they contained a prohibition of this very thing.

Is there to be set up a miniature Wilson administration with the undergraduate publications as its mouth piece to issue protests against the outrages to undergraduates, while the outrages continue...
...importance of the demand for this work is the outstanding feature of the whole question.

Such men, an increasing number of whom in the last few years have distinguished themselves scholastically, and as leaders in college activities...
...ragged, uninteresting scrimmage between teams. A and B at the Arena yesterday afternoon resulted in a victory for team A by the score of 2 to 0. Neither team displayed much life, and any attempt at intelligent passing seemed to be lacking on both sides. The playing was choppy throughout, with the centres lagging behind and the wings repeatedly losing chances to score by their failure to cover the rebounds. Baker almost scored early in the scrimmage, but Abbott made a good stop, and finally Percy tallied the first goal on a long, low shot from beyond the outer defence...
