The only satisfactory solution of the problem lies in the fact that here all branches of athletics seem to be at their lowest ebb, while at the two colleges previously cited the case is reversed. Exeter Academy, Harvard's oldest and hitherto most reliable feeder, has sent nearly twice as many men to the other colleges as here, and the number of men who have gone to Yale from Andover is unprecedented.
