...usual organization would be farcical, and the informal system was inaugurated. Contrary to expectations; there was more than a small amount of interest in athletics left at the colleges. In football the informal system worked tolerably well, but everyone realized that something fundamental was lacking. There was no demand for the old style of spectacles with huge crowds, but there was a decided demand for games with other colleges. In hockey the informal system is proving no more of a success than it did in football...
...reputation in peace times and makes it more serviceable in times of strife. The policy of "business as usual" has been much criticized, but as the present ideal of the graduate school it deserves praise.

To meet this call, and to meet it with men specially trained in a specific phase of modern business...
...useful studies, yet it does not detract from the value of a classical training. What has developed for generations the minds of Englishmen is not now discarded. That the greatest stronghold of Greek and Latin should not adjust its requirements until 1918 gives convincing proof of their durability. The demand for men whose training has been devoted entirely to success in business has caused an addition to the college curriculum, not a substitution. Mental training and the need of it remain the same however much the world changes. That which has developed great minds in the past will develop them...
