Most of the glamour of intercollegiate athletics is linked with such big football contests as those between Harvard, Yale and Princeton, and their absence this year has, in Princeton at least, tended toward a more sane and normal attitude toward athletics that is certainly most desirable. If this spirit be maintained with regard to every sport, and if some of the large overhead expense of coaching be done away with, the resumption of intercollegiate athletics is a wise course; but if athletics are allowed to interfere in any way with military training, either because of the demands on the time...
Yale and New Haven are always glad to receive visitors from Harvard; there is a sort of glamour in the atmosphere created by the arrival of crowds in holiday spirits. We like to be good hosts to you who are our guests,--indeed, in recent years, like truly good hosts, we have even been accustomed to feel extremely downcast at the time of your departure.

Can it be that class spirit has ebbed so low that only the glamour of the University "H" will induce men to row on a chilly afternoon? It seems almost as if undergraduates had given up the idea of participating in athletics for the sake of the sport and exercise, not to mention the honor of the class. That it takes some time to develop a crew is almost too well...
