...There seems to be no doubt but that the athletic committee of the faculty in pursuit of an ideal state of athletics will forbid the nine to hire a professional trainer for next year. We are very sorry for this. The reasons for pursuing this action in spite of the strong opposition of men whose minds are not swayed by college feeling and who are known for their sound judgment, do not seem to us clear or considerate of the best interests of the university. The committee state that they see no reason to change their opinions of last year...
EDITORS HERALD-CRIMSON.-The faculty seems to be extremely solicitous that the students of Harvard should not become brutal; but they appear to be equally anxious that they should be dishonorable. Obliging our eleven to break its agreement, robbing the Yale ball team of some $1500 seem to have been matter of not the slightest consequence to them, when a few days ago, they took measures to stop the game with Yale on Thanksgiving day. This is an exact parallel case to what happened about a year ago. In the spring of '82 the Athletic Association entered into an agreement...
...realized for several years past at the Thanksgiving game, upon which we have been relying to meet our financial agreements. Last year it was played in Cambridge. The receipts from the game were, as we are informed, some $1,200, all of which went to Harvard. It does not seem just that the Harvard faculty, by an arbitrary action based on reasons which to say the least, will admit of discussion, should at this late hour, after all contracts had been made, cause so great loss to us. If any changes in the rules seemed advisable to them, notice should...
...seen in base-ball. No one would say that base-ball was brutal because there are rules that forbid intentionally knocking a man down or intentionally striking him. Surely the latter rule indirectly implies more brutality than the ones so much objected to by the committee. It seems to us that the committee objects more to the letter of the rules, the possibilities they suggest, than to their spirit. But after all we object most strenuously to the time they have chosen for their action. It is too late after all arrangements have been made to interpose objections that should...
...Michigan Argonaut, we notice an editorial commenting on the extremely small value of a college-bred man in our politics, and giving the impression that all such are but a mockery to that great number of successful men who have not had a college education. Such views seem to us to be radically and foolishly wrong. Now and then a collegian may make himself ridiculous by aspiring to some high position for which he is quite unfitted, but such a case does not often occur, as the writer of the article seems to think. A college training essentially cultivates common...
