...glad to see the President's appreciation of the improvement in athletic, as shown in the way the sports themselves have been conducted and in the growing feeling that they, ought always to yield pleasure and healthful vigor instead of grinding, unenjoyable work and injurious exhaustion."

The Daily Princetonian, voicing the Princeton undergraduate sentiment, says: "We do not believe intercollegiate contests to be harmful, but rather a most beneficial and necessary factor of college life. They are essential to the welfare of a college community. But they have...
