...positions on the teams of the various universities and colleges. The exclusion of all members of graduate departments will effectually put a stop to the importation of foot-ball material, and the provision in regard to special students will practically stamp out professionalism. The rule was conceived without any idea, either of forcing any member of the league to withdraw from, or of preventing any team from joining the association; its spirit is entirely impersonal and it has been decided on as the best, and in fact the only way to satisfy the demand for the 'purification of athletics.' which...
...student is in a position where his mind and heart are being trained beyond the point which most men reach and with this extra favor there comes an increased obligation. The student acquires an insight into human nature, an idea of the relation of things in the world; in short acquires ability.

"Be master of thyself" and no material loss can then mean anything...
...Education Association for the union of the Annex and the University and they are certainly sound and important. It would be difficult to state just how such a union would be viewed by undergraduates. Undergraduate views, however, upon this subject would doubtless not be of much influence. The idea of a co-educational college like those of the West, probably comes first to mind, but such a change in the college would probably not happen. The system of the education of both departments would be left to the Administrative Boards. But every fair minded undergraduate, recognizing the work and needs...
