...care in such an important matter. In a matter like athletics which so nearly concerns the students and so little concerns the faculty, we think that the former body should have been consulted. The single conference which was held with a committee of students several weeks ago was far from being all that was necessary to determine a preliminary policy before the New York conference and after the conference not a word was said by our faculty until the text of the resolutions were disclosed by another college, when their confirmation was made known. We were given to understand that...
...seventh resolution is very objectionable and unjust. Many famous boating men who have graduated, and leading physicians declare that a four mile is far better than a three-mile race. A majority of our graduate committee on boating are reported as being in favor of a four-mile race, and their opinion is thus entirely ignored despite the fact that their appointment was endorsed by the faculty...

Clearly Dr. Hamlin is the man for the presidency of a struggling college, and in case any unauthorized person should hereafter ask for money in the name of Middlebury College, the public will know that such person is an impostor, and that the college is growing rich...
