Each of these things, particularly the latter, is a more serious cause of interruption to college work than are most of the intercollegiate sports. If sports keep the students together, I am afraid we shall do more harm than good by discouraging them." Princeton also has little cause for worry, for President Wilson said at a recent dinner in Chicago that by athletics the great majority of undergraduates are not too much absorbed...

But we are sure that abolition of intercollegiate contests will work greater harm to the cause of general participation in athletics than its advantages would compensate for.
