...committee and by using extreme care in employing professionals as trainers no element of professionalism need be introduced into our sports. The excess of college athletics could easily be checked, and things reduced to the basis of the time not long passed, when the present crusade against professionalism was unheard of. The objection of the faculty, it was urged in reply, was to professionalism in toto. Toleration of it in a modified form even was as bad almost as its most aggravated development as now illustrated at Yale, and the experience of the England Universities in recent years would teach...
...become such men, only they lack the educational resources. The common school system of the State is defective. When I made my first donations towards establishing the university I was not aware the property so given would be taxed. Such treatment of property given for such purposes is unheard of in the North.

This truly is deplorable. The stage and the novel arrayed as enemies of the college ! That so unheard of a thing as conspicuous talent, as genius should be exhibited by a college professor is enough to shake the very foundations of the learned universe. Prof. Beers, of Yale, also we learn is writing stories for the Century and the Continent; and last of all it is reported that...
