Since the game last Saturday, Princeton has met and defeated Syracuse by the Score of 9 to 6.

The tam will probably be further strengthened by the return of Stinson to his position behind the bat, in which case Captain Jefferies will be moved to first.

At the convention a letter from Mr. Harding was read, in which he spoke of the Court. Largely through the efforts of Mrs. Winter, however, specific mention...
...significant section the committee declares that the chief problem in athletics "is one of relative values; and it must be met, in our opinion, by following the principle that athletics is an element in the education of the individual to be given its due place but no more than that." The committee also comments favorably on the various agreements eliminating "everything that tends in the direction of professionalism," and praises the high standard of sportsmanship in modern athletics at Harvard...
