...meeting of the executive committee of the Cycling Association the proposition was considered of bying a few racing bicycles for the use of the association. Comparatively few college men can afford to buy racing machines for themselves, and they are very heavily handicapped if they ride road machines; while if the association buys some racers, as is now expected, it will bring out men who have ability but are now kept off the track by the lack of proper machines.

The men of slender means must give what they can afford, and the rich men must not be satisfied with a five or ten-dollar subscription. We want both a large number of subscriptions and a large gross sum. The first depends upon the co-operation of everyone, the second on the help of the rich...
