...Athletic Committee of the Faculty, as well as the students, will probably be rejoiced to know that a prominent authority has recently given an official definition of the word "amateur" as distinguished from "professional." We refer to the definition of the National Association of Amateur Athletes, which held a meeting in New York on Saturday. The Association finally gave the following clear and precise definition as its official announcement. "An Amateur is any person who has never competed in any open competition for money, or under a false name, or with a professional for a prize, or where gate money...

The fame of him preceded by several months my actual introduction to him, so that my imagination had time to picture him in all manner of portentous guises. The gentleman to whom I refer was an undergraduate, and at that period a sophomore. He was commonly spoken of as "Bill Blaikie," and his claim to my reverence lay in the fact that he was the typical strong man of the college. I doubt whether I should have had the perseverance to wriggle my way through...
