Swimming, for its vigorous exercise and purity, should be favored by the Faculty, because the contestants, as in tennis and rowing, are not subject to the temptation offered for dirty work. But the proposed plan of those in power is to cut out even this team, which, moreover, has only four contests a year, necessitating two absences only, from Cambridge. Surely the time taken away from studies to prepare for these contests, especially when practice is very light, because of the lack of a pool, can hardly be said to injure a swimmer's standing in the University.

...racing starts; and on Thursday the first and second crews had a two-mile race. The water was so rough, however, that satisfactory work was almost impossible. A stroke of 30 was maintained for most of the distance, but the men were still inclined to rush the slides and cut the finish; and when the stroke was raised there was a pronounced tendency to kick the slides away and shorten the stroke. Next week a still higher stroke will be attempted; and the crew will leave on the Federal Express Thursday evening for Annapolis, where it will complete the training...
...your columns yesterday morning, there seems to be a move on foot to abolish all winter sports. Of all these sports, one of the most important is hockey.

Hockey as a sport is one of the most exciting and probably the purest of all sports...
...excellent mode of outdoor exercise, has none of the abuses of other sports, employs no professional coaches, has few injuries, and gives the required amount of outside interest during a period when college life is extremely dull. We do not wish to see the baseball or football schedules cut down, but it would seem far wiser to take off some of their many games than make a total abolition of so excellent a sport as hockey. C.

...develop and it can only be done by gradually working the one out of the other. The main interest that draws men to these sports in the winter is the prospect of the intercollegiate games. The sports are new and they require stimulus. Hence they will cut short the only interest of the undergraduate life at that dull time of the year, and all the men who go out for hockey and basketball, most of whom do not partake in the major sports, will spend their time idly indoors. Is this what the Faculty desires? Then...
