Two additional courses are inserted in the requirements for a degree. Our first vague impression was that the proposed readjustment would simply undertake a saner organization of the present system, a truly equal opportunity for all in physical training, and a removal of the semi-professional spirit.

The whole array of paid coaches, trainers, scouts and other attendants ought to be cut down considerably and the number of games which involve traveling might well be reduced. These things have made college athletics unduly expensive in the past and have given all college sport the taint of semi-professionalism.
