Such actions are obviously wrong. But actions arise from motives, and motives are formed by inherited traits and acquired training. The former are beyond our power to change; the latter demands our immediate attention.

This materialistic motive pervades all human society at the present time; it lies at the heart of the social problem.

Proceeding this way, nothing will be accomplished. It is time for humility to play its part. Let both sides admit that reform...
That the University in has complete abolition of major sport teams has been in the wrong is useless to deny. It is hoped that those in control will be broad-mined enough to realize the mistake before spring and that we shall again have a baseball nine, a track team and a crew representing the University and taking part in outside contests under the West Point system...
