...University baseball squad was given batting practice, for the last time under Keeler's coaching, in the cage on Saturday afternoon. The work was disappointing--the men still showing a tendency to step away from the ball, to use their bodies too little in swinging, and to strike at wide balls. The outfielders practiced for a short while out of doors, and the infielders were given practice in stopping grounders in the cage. It is expected that today the ground will be in condition to permit practice for the whole squad, and hereafter, as far as possible, the regular work...

This suggestion seems less revolutionary when it is remembered that since 1860 the standard of requirements for the degree of A.B. has risen steadily, and that the age of its recipients has advanced about two years. President Butler adds: "By taking this step we should retain the college, with its two years of liberal studies, as an integral element in our system; shorten by two years the combined periods of secondary school, college and professional instruction; and . . . at the same time we should retain the four years' course with all its manifest advantages...
