Suppose that we grant this to be true; does it follow that the students of Harvard College are so weak that their methods and morals would suffer from the little contact they have with men who make ball-playing a business? It might be well for the faculty to turn its attention a little more closely to some other aspects of the moral training of Harvard College and let such slight matters as professionalism take care of themselves.

Get into the habit of using the library in a thoughtful, systematic, healthful way. It is comparatively easy to form habits that do not bring one into contact with books and especial care should be taken to correct this fault at the outset. Some special courses of reading as fiction or biography, followed out during a whole lerm or year, will probably give the best results, but few of us possess such a methodical turn of mind that...
