Today the undergraduate petition goes to the Faculty of Arts and Sciences. It is not a defiance, not even an opposition; merely a dignified expression of opinion and a request. We trust that it will not be misunderstood. It bears to the Faculty an organized expression of prevailing undergraduate sentiment, and asks that the students' wishes be not disregarded, but that in the ultimate solution of the difficulty they may be met at least halfway. We must now await quietly the outcome of our efforts...
...This sentiment has been already strongly developed and will, we believe, grow in strength in the future. The extensive curtailment of athletics by regulation we believe to be unwise, and request that before the enactment of any radical regulations the undergraduates be given opportunity to attempt the solution of the problem themselves.

Enough communications have been published in the CRIMSON'S columns to show the strength of undergraduate sentiment on the athletic question. For several days we have withheld editorial comment in order to give the University a chance to express itself.

...simpler explanation of those absences-the debilitation of re-echoing defeat, nothing but defeat! It is a natural time to hide one's light under a bushel. The cry of splendid showing gives no satisfaction.

Therefore I say instead of dipping a wrinkled thumb into the situation which at the best has been a hodge-podge mess of pottage, better to stand aside in dignified silence and watch...
...favor of intercollegiate sport: its power in holding the undergraduate community together, its good effects upon the participants both morally and physically, its power as an outlet for the energy that in any event would not be expended on studies, its supplement intercollegiate athletics, and lastly the rising undergraduate sentiment against the abuse of athletic privileges. We therefore believe that any athletic reductions are at present unwise and uncalled for, and that in the long run the Committee, with the able assistance of Mr. Garcelon, can eliminate existing evils, and prove conclusively and to the satisfaction of all that...
