...this connection we desire to commend the action of the H. A. A. in deciding to hold a meeting open to all amateur in the spring. Harvard has exception facilities for holding such a meeting, and there is every reason to expect that it will prove a great success. It should be under taken in a generous spirit. Our indebtedness to the amateur athletic clubs of New York and Boston is large in one sense, and we should endeavor to show them in this meeting our appreciation of the many courtesies extended to Harvard athletes...

...light of these facts, these "Articles" can hardly fail to commend themselves as reasonable and equally fair to both parties. The consummation of the so-called dual arrangement is generally conceded to be for the advantage of both universities. It is hoped that Yale will see her way to accept Harvard's proposition, which, it will be observed, leaves each university free to make such arrangements with other colleges as may be thought desirable...
