The lists should contain the names of forty American authors who are thought worthy of a place in an American academy.

We have not many hopes of convincing those members of the faculty who hold to such a belief after having soberly considered the arguments on both sides already brought forward, so utterly alien must be their point of view to that of the students. We on the one hand regard athletic sports as a regular system, developed after a show growth, in many ways faulty and capable of improvement, but certainly not to be remedied by a return to the idyllic...
