...obliged to speak of the matter once more. Setting aside all reference to the frequent misrepresentations of students and instructors of the college, we would touch only upon athletics. The members of the athletic teams are constantly complaining that they and their sports are grossly misrepresented in the city press. That their complaints are, with few exceptions, well founded is too true, but that no such complaints should be well founded is also true.
