...real object of College sport--a general participation in healthful exercise for recreation and larger acquaintance. It is worth while considering whether the whole system of athletics should not be changed, either to one completely intra-college, or, as suggested by Mr. R. A. Derby '05, in the "Outlook" for October 5, 1907, to one of fewer outside games and more intra-college competition.
