...what the papers say, the sentiment of the undergraduates has not changed in the slightest during the past year. The joy was unanimous when the news was brought to New Haven of the report of the Governing Boards in favor of athletics at Harvard, and there is no reason why friendship should not continue as it has hitherto. We have the same ideals, the same aims, and the same ambitions that you have, as Professor Lowell indicated in his recent lecture at Yale. The greatest foe to our friendship is the newspaper reporter, and we at Yale have learned...

...interests of all our colleges are inseparable. The undergraduate opinion on the question may not be entirely unbiased; but we do feel strongly that attempts to separate the interests of colleges from the interests of the states in which they are located, is unfortunate for both alike. We have reason to hope, however, that the opinions of unprejudiced men which have appeared in many of the papers throughout the State, will carry weight and that the lower House of our Legislature will reject the bill when it is brought before them...
