He has followed a certain policy consistently and the situation today proves his wisdom in the choice of it.

There are surely numbers of men in the University who could be trained with success for these events, and we hope that encouraged by the satisfactory prospects for the track material, the management will be able to turn out some good weight throwers and bicycle riders. They should make a determined effort to put in the field next spring a well rounded team which is free from...
