...Athletic Supplement" of the June Monthly, Mr. W. K. Richardson has an interesting article on "English Athletics." Mr. Moorfield Storey and Mr. G. W. Green, '76, also have candid words to say in regard to the proper place of athletics at college. The position of the overseers is sharply attacked by the latter writer...
...facts therein detailed are undoubtedly true, but it is difficult to understand how a fair-minded body of men could have clamly and deliberately drawn such an exaggerated conclusion as the recommendation of the entire abolishion of intercollegiate contests. This conclusion is not justified by the premises, as any candid observer of both sides of the question must allow. The report says, for example, that athletics have tended to become the ruling passion at Harvard and that they have grown to this enormous degree of importance in the last twenty-five years. The committee has been misled here...

That the society question is a live one at Yale still is shown by the fact that both of the senior statisticians have asked for candid opinions on the subject.

One of the greatest troubles has been that there were so few desirable societies that some of the best men in the class have to "get left" on account...
Harvard College treats the students as men; the students, however, act in some instances, like the merest children. The performances of last Monday night can find no sanction in the minds of candid and impartial men. The class of '91, represented by a number of its uncontrolled spirits, has made for itself an unenviable reputation early in its career. If these men believe because men smile at their follies and do not treat them as their fathers did before they came to college, that therefore their actions are meritorious, they are very much mistaken, and have much yet to learn...
