This state of things only shows how difficult it is to find one man capable of attending to all branches of athletics in turn. Our faculty have declared that they wished to find a graduate director of field sports. The failure of Mr. Camp, a man acknowledged to be fitted for just such a position, if any one was, leads us to believe that such a director cannot be found. Different instructors for the different sports will have to be engaged as hitherto, if Harvard intends to have her athletics looked after. College graduates are not likely to accept...

If she had such a director the prohibition against 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...
