...provisions of the 8th and last resolution all the present inter-collegiate associations of which Yale is a member will be disbanded. Of course the weight of all this and of re-organization, if any such takes place, falls upon the present teams. Practically by these measures student control of athletics is abolished. We do not think that these rules can be made effective without further and more minute restrictions being adopted by the faculty.

Courage, resolution, and perseverance are required in all the men who excel in athletic sports. The faculty for organization, executive power, the qualities which enable men to control and lead other men, and again those other qualities by which men yield faithful obedience to recognized authority, are all called into action in every boat race, in every ball contest, and through all the preliminary training. In athletics the college world is a little republic of young men with authority for government...
