...seems to us that in college athletics as in graver matters in life, the degree of excellence attained and the resulting benefit to the participants both depend largely on the stimulus afforded by wide opportunity for competition. We think it very undesirable to limit in any way, not entirely necessary, the scope of inter-collegiate contests in athletics, and, while approving of proper restrictions, earnestly deprecate the narrowing of the field which would result from the adoption of such a resolution by a comparatively small number of colleges. In consideration of the widely differing conditions of American colleges, absolute equality...
...Greeks together. Though there may be a Cicoro and a Demosthenes they will both be united against Macedon. We all stand together against that senseless cry which speaks of the great ancient languages as dead in any offensive sense of that word. On this great question of classical languages depend upon it we shall take no step backward...
...used is the number of hours of instruction per week; the amount of work to be required of the student is left to the discretion of the individual instructors. They are of course not perfectly informed concerning the amount and thoroughness of work done in other electives; they must depend largely on what they observe in their own sections. No instructor would wish to condition most of the men taking his course; that elective in the following year would be avoided. If he finds the students are not doing the work assigned to them he is led to require less...
...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 in this matter, but that every college is left to give its own rendering to the rules...
...points of detail the resolutions are most open to criticism. We do not see the connection between such points and the general question of professionalism. The issue on both is not the same, and therefore in our opinion much better had been separated and not made the one to depend upon the other. If in any point, in these the necessity of amendment will first be felt. The prohibition of contests with general amateurs is certainly a foolish one in the sense that it is unnecessary, arbitrary and oppressive, and was evidently a concession on the part of Harvard...
