...fact that bicycle riding is put on his list. This omission of base ball may, of course, have been accidental on the president's part; but, considering the care with which the list is made out, and the prominence of the sport, such an accident seems unlikely. We shall look with interest for future developments of the president's idea...

We might, in this case, look for such opposed motives as could have influenced me; but we should then be merely evading and postponing the real question. We may assume that men are swayed by motives, and that they are apt to go where the strongest one drives them. What we want to know is this...
