...entirely in accord with the effort made by the students of this University so to reform college sports that they shall hereafter be played under rules which will limit participation in them to bona fide members of the University, who have never had any pecuniary profit from their sport; and we heartily approve the new rules (subjoined), which have lately been unanimously adopted by the Harvard Football and Baseball Associations, and have been sent to us with the request that they receive our sanction.

Our attitude is not hypocritical, but is based, we believe, on a real desire for purity in college athletics. In our efforts to accomplish this end, Princeton has thus far refused to co operate. We have withdrawn from the league not for the purpose of holding Princeton up to public scorn, but because we are unwilling to compete longer under the disadvantages which a consistent effort at reform forces upon...
