...college grounds. He thinks that members of all the classes should not be equally eligible to take part in public contests, but that freshmen should be prohibited from participating. Another good restriction, he thinks, would be found in diminishing the frequency of great intercollegiate contests. With this end in view, it would be well to have important contests in the same branch of sport come only every other year. He is also in favor of having rules that will ensure greater safety to players by preventing mass plays and the like. A fuller account of President Eliot's views will...
...that the library was supposed to contain at least two copies of this book and everybody wondered where the other copies were. Purely by accident, one of the students found a second copy on a chair, which was pushed under a bench so that the book was hidden from view.

The so-called sparring matches held in years past at Cambridge have as a rule been mere exhibitions of unscientific, brutal "slugging," degrading to the participants and spectators and disgraceful to the association under whose auspices they have been held. Contents into which athletes enter "for blood" and not infrequently come out wearing the laurels of a "knock out," are unworthy of recognition as legitimate sports, and deserve the condemnation of friends of college athletics...
