...natural as his son is a prominent member of the football eleven. In this paper he speaks only of the advantages gained, and on this side he has almost all the prominent educators to back him. Indeed in one place he quotes a long passage from a report of President Eliot, published several years ago. Professor Richards makes a good argument when he says that the college world in athletics is like a miniature republic the training in which fits men to command and obey, and gives them power of organization which will be of use to them...
