...scientific accuracy which debars the general student from an enjoyable sport," but the limited area of land devoted to out-door sports. With additional land at command, class nines and elevens would have been formed long ago from policy, just as the class crews were. As a matter of fact, since the first restrictions were laid on base-ball, no larger number have played base-ball than before. The changes introduced by the committee cannot, therefore, make exercise accessible to a greater number. Nor do we believe that this has been the motive of the committee. In each case they...

The editors are men who are, by necessity. better acquainted with college matters in general, and better fitted to judge of the sentiment of the students, than any other men who might be selected. And in order to avoid any misunderstanding in interpreting to the students at large the decisions of the Conference Committee-which, of course, must be done through the columns of the papers-it would be a matter of the highest importance that...
