Sirs: As to the question of the Regiment's manoeuvering on Sunday, Professor Hocking's letter expressed the injustice of it. Yet the members went on their own responsibility and consent; and while the marches doubtlessly offended many of the laity, they had not yet interfered with the liberty of the men themselves. But now the regimental government has made compulsory two Sunday exercises, on the 21st and the 28th.

Perhaps also a coach less hampered by other duties than Mr. Clark would assist the men more in their development, but the question of coaching can only be judged adequately when the coach is given a reasonable amount of material to work with. The chief fault lies, as usual, with public opinion, which should, and must in the future, make life as unpleasant for the armchair-athlete as it is today for the able-bodied...
