...Within the last twenty years our universities and colleges have been drawn closer together than ever before. The conduct of a great institution of learning is no longer a matter which concerns its governing boards alone or its graduates alone; it is something which affects a hundred other institutions with which it comes in contact. Particularly true is this of the eldest in our collegiate sisterhood--the university whose pre-eminence in years is equalled by her proeminence in honors and services...

While willing to concede great liberty to the major teams in the matter of medical attendance, training-tables, expensive outfit and "H" sweaters, they are averse to unbending to the extent of dinners, theatre-parties, pictures, and like unessential. Further, there is really no reason why $5 sweaters should be dealt out wholesale to members of class teams winning their numerals,--teams which play three or four games at the most. Entirely aside from this, there...
