...trials of strength and skill, but on the contrary, as at present conducted, they train the young men to look upon victory as the rewards of treachery and deceit. That this is the case, anyone who has seen the game of baseball as it is played by the so-called best college nines will at once admit. For the pitcher, instead of delivering the ball to the batter in an honest, straightforward way, that the latter may exert his strength to the best advantage in knocking it, now uses every effort to deceive him by curving-I think that...

Ludlow, sec'y of the Archaeological Institute of America have sent the following circular to the presidents and faculties of American colleges: "The managing committee of the American school of classical studies at Athens begs to call to your attention the advantages offered by the school to graduates of the colleges cooperating in its support, and to request you to bring these advantages to the notice of your students, some of whom from year to year will, it is hoped, avail themselves of them. The committee asks you, also, to urge upon...
