...Harvard, Michigan, and Clarkson sextets have all been flown to Colorado at the Broadmoor's expense, and they all are perfectly free to avail themselves of any and all of the recreational facilities that this resort offers...
...doubtful if a more pleasant site could have been found for such a tournament. The Broadmoor is not really a resort; it is a pleasure city, and one that is completely self-sufficient. Not very many resorts can offer their guests a hockey rink, a zoo, a polo field, a 27 hole golf course, a bar ensconced in a greenhouse, along with all the other obvious facilities.

Nevertheless, we oppose unnecessary official meddling in undergraduate organizations, and the hastily conceived attempt of the Student Council to seize the Club's books. Only as a last resort, following a failure of the principals in the fight to co-operate, should Dean Watson consider the suspension or revocation of the Club's charter...
