...Athletic Committee will meet this evening to discuss in detail the plans for athletics during the coming spring. According to a statement by Dean LeBaron R. Briggs '75 to a CRIMSON reporter last night, the chief question to be decided this evening is not that of the formality or informality of sport in the University, but rather of the advisability of resuming intercollegiate games in place of the present policy of meeting only cantonment and school teams. The question of intercollegiate games has not, until recently, received the support of the authorities of Yale, Princeton and the University...
...meeting of the Massachusetts school administrators at the State House in Boston on Saturday, President Lowell was the principal speaker on the question of changing the requirements for entrance to colleges in the state. He warned the administrators present against the dangers of lowering the standard of work required for entrance to college, but was in hearty accord with the idea of inaugurating any plan that would broaden the chance for more high school men to enter college...
...plans for a series of interdormitory debates were completed. The trials will be in the Smith, Gore and Standish Common Rooms for the respective interdormitory teams, from 5 to 6 o'clock on Monday afternoon, February 25, and from 8.15 to 9.30 o'clock on the same evening.

...basis of the system; the example of a University team is the ideal for which every man strives. But the old evils must be abolished; we do not wish to get back into the rut in which we have been running for the last decade. The money question has been the greatest drawback, and next to it, the elaborate system of training, both of which over-emphasize the importance of athletics. These dangers are gone, we hope never to return. Our little touch of in formalism has shown that athletic luxury is unnecessary, and when in future we take...
...question of coming to terms is the sole remaining barrier. Neither Yale nor the University is willing to have athletics take up a large part of its time; the military drill is far more important and can not be curtailed. We must decide just how many hours of practice the teams shall be allowed, and these practice hours must be regularly adhered to in order to have the universities meet on even terms. Such minor details can be arranged without difficulty, and it will be a happy day in Cambridge when a "big, blue team" once more jogs...
