Agitation for reform in college sports contains both wheat and chaff--and a considerable amount of each. Too much publicity is one charge. Football could do with less space; the other sports are better adjusted to the amount of interest in them. Football, and, to a lesser degree, other sports have been overreaching themselves along the line of intersectional contests. Here is an immediate source of needless expense and overexploitation.

Separating the chaff of the chronic growler, the captious individual and the carping dispenser of profane fault-findings from the bulk of the comment would still leave a deal of wholesome material worthy of honest reflection. This cannot be done, unfortunately, and there is no means of getting the undergraduate views...
...many further than they would naturally have gone into radicalism, and confers upon the worst of our deportees the unwarranted title of "martyr." Let us preserve that tolerance for which so many in the early history of America gave their blood, and take care that in threshing out the chaff of the ill we waste not a precious kernel of the Truth.
