...League, is justified. To put on teams players who are not bona fide students has a pernicious effect on the teams, on the colleges, and on the sport. College athletics have become infected with professionalism, and there is no prospect of improvement under the present League. The spirit of recent conventions has been that of casting formal difficulties in the way of a proper agreement between gentlemen.

Harvard is not sorry that she has taken the stand she has. As we have pointed out before, she is in a far better position than any she has occupied since the football league...
