...work prepared and ready for it. I would recommend greater publicity in the recitals of the club and a closer attention to a course of reading which would be of greater interest to the college at large.

The position of the committee and of this university is substantially as follows: Foot ball, per so is the best game we have for physical development, and perhaps the best in its man making influences.

Harvard students, must not be allowed...
