...President Eliot's characterization of intercollegiate football, in his annual report, is the utterance of a man who refuses to surrender either his reason or his responsibility to a popular and passing craze. Out of the mouths of the apologists for the game, he condemns it. They would restrain on the day of the great match the brute instincts which they have been sedulously cultivating through three months of training by "employing more men to watch the players," so as to prevent foul and vicious playing.

The communication urging us to start a petition and our own editorial on the subject, were merely suggestions to be followed or not as the base-ball management saw fit. Outsiders should restrain themselves and not rush blindly into invective against a management chosen by representatives of the college, who probably know very well what is best for Harvard's interests in base-ball. We say all this to vindicate the base-ball management. It does not mean that we believe them always...
