...able to take things for what they are worth. Whereas if he were in a Western college or in an Eastern college composed largely of Western men, he would be in a more congenial atmosphere from the beginning, and his view-point would change but little. I do not mean to say that the atmosphere here is uncongenial to Western men, but it is likely to be so at the beginning, due to the misunderstanding pointed out above. In short, then, outside of the academic advantages which he gets here he gets a broader horizon and a broader sense...
...attempted corrections of such an evil would mean that the innocent must suffer with the guilty; but it would be better to subject the thoughtful to a useless supervision than to permit the rest to drift through College as fancy dictates.

...teams mean so much to us because they belong to us and represent us. We take a keen personal interest in them, and if their field is so restricted that they cease to be properly our athletic representatives, that personal interest will be gone. In its place will come more selfish interests that will drive us apart. The very decline of interest in intercollegiate sport will make our teams deteriorate and as they deteriorate the interest will continue to decline. The result is not nice to contemplate...
