What promises to be a satisfactory solution seems near at hand--from an undergraduate point of view because there has been no abolition, and because we are ready to co-operate with the Athletic Committee in accepting such reductions as the Committee may deem necessary and harmless; from a Faculty point of view because the Committee has expressed no intention of disregarding an urgent recommendation, and because the undergraduates have shown their willingness to co-operate in eradicating the evils so commonly attributed to athletics...
