...privately endowed universities and larger colleges--or many of them--would, I believe, if the Government authorized the necessary detail of officers, be quite willing to organize voluntary classes for military training. This is a resource which the Government should by all means utilize and develop. The system of military training now in operation in the land-grant colleges and universities might be at once extended to these sister institutions; and as new experiments were tried out in the former they could be established in the latter...

My opinion is that it would develop into more or less of a sprint and would be more detrimental physically than the longer course. In all racing it is the pace and not the distance that kills.

The management has always desired to make the relay races a nucleus for Olympic teams, and it will be on these lines that they will develop. On Friday a Pentathlon for college men will be held. The regular events of the Olympic Pentathlon will be contested, namely, the running broad jump, throwing the javelin, throwing the discus, 200-meter race and 1500-meter race. This will be practically an all-round championship for the college men and it should be one of the most interesting...
