...feeling exists. It is more than the attractive power of football, for a dozen teams can without contradiction proclaim themselves superior to the two that meet in the Stadium tomorrow; it is far stronger than mere intercollegiate rivalry, for this year no student mass-meetings are going into pre-game spasms of false ecstasy over the teams. Instead, the atmosphere is saner, more healthful, more desirable for everybody. The relations of the two colleges have passed their childhood, and are becoming mature...
This lament of Mr. Snedder is somewhat a propose in consideration of the fact that in many colleges the educational atmosphere is effectively diffused under the pressure of extra-curricular functions. However, his desire to concentrate the scope of the student, especially that of men interested in pre-professional work falls very short of helping the situation.

A too well traveled team smacks highly of advertising and of gate receipts. But like all good things, there is safety in moderation. The fanfare and beating of drums in Ann Arbor today reflects the spirit-of youth; out for the conquest of football foes and the winning of new friends...
