It is tacitly understood, however, that as the faculty do not in any way object to the contests in themselves but to the general disturbances resulting from a victory, if the students will pledge themselves to restrain their ardor in the celebrations, the faculty will let the matter drop. In order to insure the continuance of all intercollegiate games, the students have themselves taken the proposition in hand and have set about organizing a special college police force, to do duty in the yard when any celebration...

We have heard the statement made, by one who knew what he spoke of, that college men who aspire to success in both studies and athletics suffer in their constitutions. To restrain such from exertions which they can not safely make should be, and is one of the duties of a professor of physical culture...
