...disgraceful treatment which used sometimes, long ago, to be accorded our nine when they played games away from home. Until the game of last Monday with the University of Pennsylvania, we had hoped that the time when a visiting nine would be subjected to the worst and meanest kind of "muckerism" was a thing of the past, but in this respect the students of the University of Pennsylvania seem to be far behind the age.

The standard of scholarship will be raised by this religious movement, and men will take a greater interest in others welfare. One of the worst evils of college life is selfishness. The desire to help the outside world should be another result of this gradual reformation...
