...remains a large number to be accounted for. It is a shame that, when the faculty is making every effort to look at the athletic question in a fair-minded way and with the support of facts, the students should not respond more generously.

...Alumni must command respect. The Board of Overseers have seen fit to lay upon the table the petition of a large number of graduates in favor of allowing the nine to play with professionals, and we are glad that the alumni do not intend to let the matter rest there. As we have often said before, Harvard University cannot afford to disregard the opinions of her graduates, and we earnestly hope that this last set of resolutions may receive the immediate attention of the college authorities...
