Professionalism is certainly an element that should be carefully barred out from an active influence in college athletics; here, if any where, the line between professional and amateur should be carefully guarded. Opinions will differ as to the present case; whether professionalism had made too great an entry into our college sports, particularly at Harvard, or not, and whether the present measures were called for or not. But, at any rate, students and faculty are so entirely at one in regard to the abstract question of professionalism that no very serious objection will be made on the part...

Some of the lacrosse men themselves were glad enough to have their association abolished, for they perfectly understood the cause of so doing, and wished to rid the association of an obnoxious element which in a measure was responsible for the chronic defeat met with everywhere.

Although the variety of costume worn on that occasion made his double-breasted jacket less conspicuous than it would have been at most evening entertainments of a like character, still he began to feel that Boston was different from Saug Centre. His boots seemed larger than they had ever been before, his Sunday purple and fine linen seemed less purple and less fine than usual - in other words, he became aware for the first time that Saug Centre was not the "Hub" but that Boston...
