...employing any "professional" trainer would not be so severely felt. The attempt at inter-collegiate faculty regulation of athletics thus it would seem has signally failed. The Harvard faculty has blindly followed this ignis fatuus until it has led it into the swamp where it now finds itself. Little credit has resulted to the college from its efforts, undertaken, we believe, with the best motives, but lamentably misdirected and aimed at impracticable objects. We hope that the project of an inter-collegiate conference of undergraduates to meet at Columbia College the last of this week will but receive...
...since their institution in 1876, Columbia has won 62; Harvard is second, with 47; Princeton a close third, with 45 prizes, being just one first and one second behind Harvard. The University of Pennsylvania is forth, with 27, and Yale a bad fifth, with only 11 prizes to her credit. The remaining 41 prizes, mostly second, are distributed between ten colleges...

We do not attach much credit to the story. Such a fact of course could be within the bounds of possibility, but we can see no reason why it should be considered probable.

...faculty meeting without giving the members of that body a sufficient chance for discussion or any chance to learn what the students, graduates and others interested in Harvard had to say upon the subject. This savors too much of political wire-pulling and gag law methods, and hardly reflects credit on those having the matter directly in charge before and at the meeting. Therefore, for these reasons, in the first place, that the present action was too hasty and that the students were not consulted, we think that the matter was ill advised...
