Nowadays one continually hears the question asked: "Why does Cornell turn out such superior teams to ours?" The answer generally given is that Cornell gets many preparatory school stars, and that consequently their teams automatically round into form. As a matter of fact, Cornell gets no more good schoolboy stars than any other college of like size. The real solution lies in the spirit which gets men out and makes them interested in working for their college. It is foolish to say that Harvard has no track material.
