...principal reasons advanced by the Faculty in favor of cutting down the number of intercollegiate contests is a belief that intracollegiate athletics, giving an opportunity for every man to indulge in "sport for sport's sake," cannot exist beside the overwhelming interest in games between the colleges. They also believe that the undergraduates are not unanimously opposed to a curtailment of schedules.

Occasionally one finds vivid flashes, such as the incident of the last man and woman, but, as a whole, the conception is chaotic. Mr. Alken's sonnet, with its dramatic, almost conversational tone, is more novel than thoroughly effective. But the impression that it leaves of the rapscallion Villon is clear...
