...with the alternative of spending more time on his studies or of doing nothing. This method of attack seems to be putting the cart before the horse. There is no effort made to make the curriculum more attractive to the student or to foster in him a desire to learn more or to take a high rank. Not at all. He can either study or loaf but at all events we shall deny him the privilege of outside activities...

There is, however, a golden mean which should be adopted by each undergraduate. His capacity to learn is developed by his academic pursuits; his ability to compete can be developed in athletics. Athletics not only offer this course in competition, but they establish the man on firm physical basis. This ability can also be developed on the college paper. A candidate for the paper must learn to meet...
