...large mass of Harvard men has been so well set forth in the letter of Prof. Richards of Yale, and in yesterday's communication to your paper, that it would be only fair and just for a leading member of the Harvard faculty to let the students know the reasons that actuated the large majority of the faculty in accepting the resolutions. The faculty, I hear from a private source, almost unanimously rejected the preambles. The preambles then were not our faculty's reasons for their action.

...sixth resolution is another very objectionable one. We don't know which college is to be entrapped by this, but it must be a compromise for some one. The ridiculous ideas of the Harvard faculty about gate-money and fences are well known.

The time for preparation is limited and each man wishes to know what to expect, whether the resolutions will be put in force and college athletics make a radical change, or whether the necessary number of colleges will fail to ratify and athletics continue in the old ruts. It is very annoying to hear that this or that college faculty have postponed or delayed...
