...Lacrosse at Harvard belongs to that group of minor sports which you are likely to think of when you hear the words "straitened budget", "program in danger." It's a sport they don't write very much about in the papers and one that very few people pay to see played. But if a sport be judged by the enthusiasm of those taking part, lacrosse rates very high among the minors...
Brushing aside the fact as unimportant, in addition, the President will be on the same program with a former colleague and present political enemy, James M.

Only hearty cooperation between the undergraduates, in voluntarily supporting the H.A.A. while in college, and the alumni, in contributing toward a permanent fund, can bring an ultimate solution to the athletic program of the University...
