...keeping the minimum number interested. It is unfortunately true, especially in rowing, that an informal season with intramural competition will not attract a large number of candidates. If the athletic rulers wish to get the greatest numbers out, they must provide some intercollegiate meetings with our natural rivals no matter how much the season may be modified from the pre-war standards. If they will promise, on their side, to give us competition with other colleges, the undergraduates will promise in turn to conduct a sane and economical season, without neglect of military work, but rather with an increased interest...
...spotlight now rests quite naturally on Yale and Harvard, among the larger institutions the only remaining advocates of the "informal system," alone opposed to big games at this time. Will there now be a new expression from those two institutions of their views on the matter? Athletics of the stamp advocated by Secretaries Daniels and Baker and by the Intercollegiate Athletic Association do not call for a return to the glamor and expense of the old regime.

...trustees of the University of Pennsylvania have taken no definite action on the plan to admit women students to the university. Failure to act was due probably to a student mass-meeting at which resolutions were passed calling upon the trustees to postpone action. As a result the matter was referred to a special committee to be appointed by Provost Smith. As the board will not meet again for three months, it will be impossible in any event to open the university to women until fall...
