By graduate exclusion hardships would be wrought on earnest men and good students from other universities who wished to enter into Harvard athletics for the fun there was in them. Such individual injustice, however, for the sake of the general policy, must be overlooked. But the injustice to men who have been through Harvard College and are thus debarred would be great.

The premises of "inverse probability" rest mostly on this sort of evidence; which seems also to underlie some economic theorems. Of a similar character is the evidence that many kinds of events are practically independent of each other. From this presumption...
