There is one aspect of the proposal to shorten the course to three years which has not been touched upon except casually; and that is the effect which such a change would have on the athletic and social life of the students. Professor James in his article in the Monthly hints that there might be some disturbance in the state of our athletic and social organization but does not speak with any seriousness on the subject.
