...necessity for more land is fast being forced upon the college, and the marked changes in our athletic grounds this spring emphasize this need even more strongly than ever before. The gradual usurpations of the university teams, whose name, in truth, is legion, upon the grounds that have hitherto been given up to tennis, or to any outdoor exercise of those men who did not play on any of the teams, while it may be necessary so long as the teams hold their present position, is yet much to be regretted.

The evils that are said to arise from intercourse with professionals have never been clearly defined, and a clear definition of them is necessary before any judgment ought to be passed upon college athletics. There is a decided objection to professionalism creeping into athletics, but hitherto its advances have been so slight and have been met with so much disfavor by college men who manage athletics that any reform may be safely trusted to their hands. Such a sentence as the above, doubtless made without thinking, prejudices the world at large, (who have little opportunity...
