...another column it is easy to see what influences are at work to undermine the position which Harvard has assumed upon the athletic question. It is difficult, however, to incriminate her in this fashion. Harvard makes no claim that she has in the past been above reproach. She, too, though in a somewhat less degree than some of her sister colleges is open to criticism for the past.
