...recommending the compulsory athletic fee the Council laid plank number two in the bridge that will lead Harvard over the deep and horrid chasm in whose gloomy depths so many other colleges lie groaning. President Conant's demand for an endowment fund started the bridge from one side and the Council has laid the foundations from the other--only by a strong intra-mural program, self-sufficing and self-supporting, can athletics be rigorously bent to meet the needs of every student and the chasm successfully avoided...
