...correspondent is quite right in bewailing any display of "childish" feeling in the present crisis; and yet we do not believe that any such feeling prompted the Athletic committee in their action. Whatever may be the result of their vote they acted on their convictions, prompted by what they believed would be for the best interest of Harvard. For this, at least, they are deserving of credit. But not for this simply. Time will prove that their action was justifiable. Whether outsiders sneer or not is a matter of no consequence. If Harvard has chosen the right course...

...remainder of the committee's vote, that is, to the recommendation that "No one should be a member of any university team who is not a candidate for the A. B. or B. S. degrees, or a special student in the college or the Scientific school," there can be no possible objection. It is a reform which must come ultimately, the sooner the better...
