What the causes are for this thin showing of entries is a matter of conjecture. It certainly is not due to any lack of effort on the part of the officers of the association nor of the interest felt in the first meeting by the college. This latter is attested by the large number of graduates and undergraduates who attend this particular meeting in preference to the ladies days. We think that much of the cause is due to the lack of a director of athletics, or trainer, as such a man is more commonly called. Such...

Their sole effort, it may be, is to lead back college sport by the stern hand of authority to the pure forms of earlier days-to the condition where, as the Advertiser puts, the participant or onlooker at the game can recall the "delights of the recesses of his school days...

All buying and selling to get gain is debasing in its tendency, and especially so in this great city, where every year completion becomes keener and more pitiless. Only constant effort will enable a man to continue his reading and to keep his mind and tastes in such cultivation that he will find in such cultivation that he will find himself en rapport with men of letters. It is too often the case that nothing but a bank account distinguishes...
