...base-ball management has been laboring under a heavy responsibility during the past few weeks, but though there was a strong sentiment against a triple league as at first proposed, they may be well assured of the approval and support of the college at large in their final decision. Also, those graduates most interested in base-ball, whose opinions and advice have been freely sought by the management, and have proved of the utmost value in this controversy, though they have been opposed to the new league, give assurances of their support to the management in the decision which they...

Harvard was largely instrumental in founding the American School, but has as a university been extraordinarily slow to contribute any actual sum for its support.
