...campus tonight is crowded with old grads. The only topic of conversation is the game tomorrow. Such gathering places as the Hotel Taft lobby and the Graduate Club are scenes of unusual festivity and gayety. The air is pervaded with a keen excitement and strains of Yale and Harvard football songs reach the ear from all quarters. The only anxiety which is in evidence is over the weather situation, as rooters for both sides have absolute confidence in the powers of their respective teams. Eyes are constantly turned toward the sky where a misty moon gives some hope...

Following this the crowd will flock to formal dances which are being held in five of the academic and Sheffield fraternities around the campus.

Hallowed by custom on many a U. S. campus are those annual rites to which prospective football material from nearby high schools is bidden to be entertained, inspected and secured. In Madison last week a University of Wisconsin faculty meeting weighed a way to make athletic proselytism foolproof. Instead of the old informality, argued serious 34-year-old Historian Robert Leonard Reynolds, why not organize a regular six-week institute each year? Promising athletes would spend the morning brushing up on their studies, the afternoon exhibiting their wares to the coach. Those who showed up well in both tests would...
