...continuing undergraduates subscription, I think it is only fair that the undergraduates should contribute. I do not believed it is possible to lay down a hard and fast rule as to the support of the minor teams; but each case should be dealt with on its merits, and where it is evidently a sport, that though small in some ways, is enjoyed by a large number of men, some help should be given by the Athletic Association although I feel the Committee is right in urging the smaller teams to be self-supporting...

The object of college athletics is to help along the physical development of the students. The minor sports certainly offer such an opportunity to a great number of men.

Tennis yields a surplus. If now $1,500 is added as expense for basketball and increases in the expenses...

...Athletic Committee was formed primarily to manage and control our athletics, and secondly to make such improvements in grounds and equipment as were necessary. To throw the minor sports, which have never been self-supporting, on their own resources; to let them work out their own salvation or perish in order that a few more dollars may be saved every year for buildings and other improvements on Soldiers Field seems change of policy unwarranted by the circumstances...
