...said by our faculty until the text of the resolutions were disclosed by another college, when their confirmation was made known. We were given to understand that the matter was private and that nothing was to be said about it until all had been decided; but such does not seem to be the construction put upon it by the other college faculties. At Princeton the students were consulted before the faculty took any action. Such should have been the case here. That it was not so leads us to believe that the measure was forced through the faculty meeting without...
...trouble alone with the manner and time of action. Several of the resolutions seem to be extremely objectionable, some on the score of impropriety, others as being very damaging to the interests of athletics at Harvard. The first and second resolutions are not particularly harmful and may do good, but the third seems to us to be the most pernicious to the interest of athletics here.

...only. It was this distinction between two equally intellectual men, employing their power, the one in a single direction, and the other in many different directions, that I meant to express by specialist and superficialist.

I do not think that the making of rules for athletic sports is the business of the faculty of a college. Neither does it seem to me that the evils growing out of these sports have assumed such proportions as to call for faculty interference in the way proposed. I cannot but believe that it will be an unfortunate blow for the physical and essentially manly development of our educated youth if these rules...
