...offered a greater reward for the hardships of training, and since the first race was good discipline for the second. He was, however, undecided as to the advisability of entering into a series of races with any college besides Yale.

Certainly a crowded class meeting is not a place where anything more abstract than personal or factional interest can be adhered to. A plan which was proposed only too late last year was the election in open meeting of a large committee of fifteen or twenty, who should report nominations to the class. In this way a calmer discussion could...
