...professionals have never been clearly defined, and a clear definition of them is necessary before any judgment ought to be passed upon college athletics. There is a decided objection to professionalism creeping into athletics, but hitherto its advances have been so slight and have been met with so much disfavor by college men who manage athletics that any reform may be safely trusted to their hands. Such a sentence as the above, doubtless made without thinking, prejudices the world at large, (who have little opportunity to view the student side of the question), to pass a hasty and one-sided...

The trustees and faculty are practically unanimous in supporting this number of services, but the students strongly object to more that one compulsory service on Sunday. The afternoon church is in great disfavor among the students, it being the general opinion that the only object of its existence is to keep the men in town. Efforts are continually being made to have it abolished, and it is thought that in a few years it will be done away with...
