...most important of these contests. It is hoped that there will be a great number of entries from the members of the Army and Navy who have returned to college, and who will thus have an opportunity to continue flying and develop aeronautics as an intercollegiate sport. During the war, many colleges had ground courses where aviators were trained and it is hoped that by stimulating an interest in flying, all of the colleges and universities will assist in fostering the advancement of this new branch of intercollegiate competition,--a sport which should take its place with rowing and football...

At present the land on the further bank of the river and across Harvard Street from Soldiers Field, recently acquired by the University, is not being utilized in any way.
