...good men of the incentive to training. When the true amateur spirit prevails, a college centers its pride not merely in the prowess of its teams, but also in the gross number of its students who learn to love sport for the sake of sport and of the health in body and in mind which it engenders. No institution is secure in virtue until the amateur spirit pervades the undergraduate body. New York Times...
...latter distribution is to be made equally between the children and the teachers the state deciding upon the local distribution, though it is put under certain restrictions by the Federal Government. Another item suggests that $20,000,000 be appropriated for physical education, and instruction in the principles of health and sanitation. The bill was reported favorably by a committee in the 66th Congress, but it was not acted upon. It is again in committee and will probably be put on the floor in the near future.

The press is filled with rumors of a new influenza epidemic. Surely we cannot afford to play with contagion here, where disease once started is apt to spread throughout the University like a forest fire. Fortunately, the cessation of classes offers a partial fire-break. But sore-throats and anesges are not to be tolerated; no man with even an incipient cold should shun the doctor's office...
