...subject of athletic regulation by the faculty has been referred back to the athletic committee of that body and we are now once more in doubt as to the final result. We think that, instead of waiting for something to turn up at which it is possible to strike, the students should themselves take the initiative. It is they who know best what they want, and if they wish the faculty to enact rules which they can heartily support, they ought to let that body know what these wants are.

...stop at on arrival, such a hardship, especially when compared with the journey to Princeton the Harvard team makes every year?

We think it very undesirable to limit in any way, not entirely necessary, the scope of inter-collegiate contests in athletics, and, while approving of proper restrictions, earnestly deprecate the narrowing of the field which would result from the adoption of such a resolution by a comparatively small number of colleges. In consideration of the widely differing conditions of American colleges, absolute equality...
