...stands at the very bottom of the Critic's list. It moreover appears that he would not have occupied even this humble position but for the fact that two or three gentlemen who had more votes turned out to be foreign-born, and therefore ineligible. Another singular aspect of this post-office academy -making is the fact, of which I am informed by a fellow immortal ranking high on the list, that he and certain others owed their high places to a special "boom" organized without their knowledge by some young admirers and parishioners,-these particular immortals being clergymen.

Professionalism among the colleges of New York State has taken on a queer aspect. Several college-Cornell, Hobart, Rochester, Hamilton and Union, have formed an association and are now playing for the champion ship, and it appears that all except Cornell, if we are informed correctly, have regular professional players on their nines.

It is true that it does no particular harm to attach to the term "professionalism" the peculiar connotation which is given to it by the Advertiser writer. We do not believe, however, that under a categorical examination he would still hold that his description of the evil...
...resolutions can be considered under three general heads: In the first place, so far as they are directly anti-professional and express the extreme views of the Harvard faculty on this question. This is an aspect that does not require particular discussion here. In form the resolutions include well enough a complete prohibition of "professionalism" from college athletics. In this respect as in others their effect will depend entirely upon the interpretation given to them and to the degree of strictness or of laxity with which they are enforced. We do not see that there is any common tribunal...
