...print this morning a communication which reiterates the ideas which, as far as undergraduates are capable, were thoroughly threshed out last year. We are unwilling to admit that our football situation must be regulated by the extremes which the writer offers. The many advantages of intercollegiate athletics so far outweigh the minor objections which are made to them that we need hardly review the arguments which justify and call for their continuance.

"The politics, the heavy physical strain, and the distractions of certain sports seem to outweigh, in many minds," says Professor Hollis in this article, "the positive good that springs from them. This prejudice is, doubtless, based upon the abuses of ten or fifteen years back, when athletics had run mad. Things have changed, however, and the old influences have disappeared. Many practices once thought legitimate have been given up as leading to bad sport, and college...
