...bearing added weight because they appear in an official document, sound the welcome closing of a needlessly hostile attitude, that has long and steadily been growing weaker at both universities. Yale and Harvard have too much in common, their ultimate aims too nearly coincide for any petty barriers to exist between them...

While the conditions of manufacture have already been subjected to scientific study, little data available on retail selling. The shoe industry was chosen because there exist no wide differences between its products, and because this industry presents the typical conditions of retail distribution...

To really remedy the existing inefficient conditions some such system as is in force in the scientific departments where special fees are charged...
Again, the Council intends no unfairness to Yale or Princeton. No written agreements exist between these universities about debating.

Whatever the final settlement, however, the facts remain that intercollegiate competition of teams under widely different eligibility rules is bound to be unsatisfactory to all parties concerned, and that there exist at present inconsistencies between the triumvirate debaters...
