...moderate work in the gymnasium daily. The present interest in class contests, small as it is, is chiefly owing to the training they give to men who are possible candidates for the 'Varsity teams or crews. Hence the interest in them would dwindle to almost nothing, were the inter-collegiate contests abolished or materially decreased in number. With no stimulus to regular exercise, spasmodic attempts at physical culture would supersede the present general, systematic, and in the main, judicious work continued through several months. "Time, money and energy," are certainly expended; but are there no returns? These quantities, too, have...
...trained in mind and body, - mentally and physically cultured, standing often-times near the top of his class, thoroughly prepared for life's struggles. After the necessary restrictions have been made against extremes, those colleges graduate the most men of the last class, which encourages a due allowance of inter-collegiate rivalry. For only by such a course can college athletics be sustained, and college students, as a mass, induced to undertake regular and systematic exercise...

The writer takes up a phase of the question which has thus far in the discussion received far too little attention. As he says in the introduction to his article, writers on both sides of the question have up to this time made the false assumption that very few men receive benefit from inter-collegiate athletics. It is natural...
Even undergraduates are very apt to have an inadequate conception of the amount of influence exerted directly by inter-collegiate sports on college students. The assertion that fully one-sixth of the students of Harvard College were during the winter in training for teams and crews which will represent us in inter-collegiate contests this spring, would probably be credited by very few who have not looked into the matter for themselves. And yet such an assertion would be true. Out of the 928 undergraduates of the college, including special students, there were 150 who trained more or less faithfully...
