The trouble in the past has been that too much dependence has been placed upon one or two men for any particular sport, and the natural result was that, when they left college, there was no one to fill their place.

Consider, gentlemen, what you are doing, and also explain the peculiar distinction you make between a professional (!) such as Mr. Bancroft, and a paid coach, such as Mr. Lathrop!

He also proposes to establish squad drill in connection with gymnasium events, under the direction of Mr. Lathrop. All men who wish to enter for this drill, in connection with any gymnasium event, are also requested to register their names at the gymnasium on Monday, and all who have attained a moderate degree of proficiency in any events are requested to be at Dr. Sargent's office at 3 P. M., Monday, December 1, to discuss the plan...
