Coach Haines declared himself heartily in favor of any system which would bring every man into active participation in the sport. He is enthusiastic for dormitory crews, declaring that every dormitory should have its crew as well as every man his sport. He is, however, opposed to the abolition of intercollegiate activities...

Some such system as that of Professor John Dewey of Columbia deserves co-operation and support at the hands of our legislators...
