Enough communications have been published in the CRIMSON'S columns to show the strength of undergraduate sentiment on the athletic question. For several days we have withheld editorial comment in order to give the University a chance to express itself. Thus far the arguments against athletic curtailment have been well stated, but by necessity very general. The CRIMSON still believes that the Faculty, and not the Athletic Committee, must be the object of our appeals. If the Committee believes that the Faculty has been influenced by the arguments, it may see fit to disregard the recommendations. If the Faculty...
...CRIMSON has stated that there is but one remaining chance to save the winter contests without endangering the actual existence of both football and baseball. That chance lies in securing tangible facts or statistics to show to just what extent, and in just what way, the scholarly interests of the University have been impaired by intercollegiate athletics.

The zealous Busy rushes in to pull down the puppets, but, consenting to a debate with them, he is utterly routed by their arguments. Justice Overdo then reveals his identity in order to stop the show, and reads off the list of misdoings he has discovered. All the "enormities" are turned upon him, and he finds he has been mistaken in every individual case. Conciliated, he seeks reconciliation with the falsely accused by a general invitation to go home with...
