...CRIMSON holds fast to the belief that the object of a college course is a sound mind in a sound body. Attention can be devoted wholly to developing neither one with advantage to the individual. Balance is essential in this as in all other things. Looking at the matter from a point of view given by athletics, the editorial pointed out the possibility of undue mental work, but we should be quite as earnest, in looking at the matter from the point of view given by studies, to urge the possibility of undue devotion to athletics...
...radical distinction made by many between mind and body, and the disparagement of the latter when compared with the former, are simply errors of a bygone age, and are not borne out by the deductions of modern science. The body and mind should at least be regarded as co-workers, and the training of one should be so directed as to supplement and improve the condition of the other.

It will be noticed that...
...more than that, we are "called to be saints." By sainthood we understand nothing weak or effeminate, but rather an ideal manhood. In saintliness there is much room for variety, but in all ages, under all circumstances, it must include a receptive and reverent frame of mind, a spirit of self-sacrifice, and a desire to fulfil the great purpose of God, to which work we are called. All of us may do this, and if we are temperate and diligent we may hope to attain this standard, and to do noble work...
