...effect of these resolutions, of course, will be to force us into a dual league with Yale-if she happens to be willing to enter into one. But we have been given to understand that these resolutions are not final-which presumably means that if sufficient opposition is shown to them, they may be withdrawn. Last year the question of a dual league was proposed and unqualifiedly rejected. Has college opinion completely changed? The only thing to cause such a change was Princeton's action last fall. We expressed our dissatisfaction at this by withdrawing from the foot ball league...
...time has come for the college to bestir itself and settle this question-not in some hastily-called meeting, but with deliberation and thought. Do not let us drift into a dual league through mere inertia. It cannot but have a bad effect on the country at large. Statistics show that our prestige is waning; it is a serious moment for us, a time to throw off our indifference and meet the question squarely...
...candidates for positions outside the battery will not begin training until after the midyears, and it cannot be ascertained until then how much the recommendation in question will have to do with keeping professional school men from trying for the team. It is probable that it will have little effect for the reason that there is at present so much doubt about the recommendation becoming a rule. According to its terms it is expressly provided that "other colleges should agree to its application in intercollegiate contests." Of course it is utterly impossible to predict now the action which the other...
...vote of the Athletic Committee which we print this morning is obviously a measure of vital importance to Harvard athletics and as such is bound to be subjected to a deal of conflicting criticism. Before discussing, however, the probable effect of the committee's vote or the immediate bearing which the present condition of our athletics may have had upon their action, we wish for a moment to call the attention of our readers to the historical aspect of the question, believing that a large minority of Harvard men are, to say the least, very imperfectly informed in regard...
...course impossible thus early to predict the effect of the new regulation upon the chances of a dual league. This much is certain, however, that it cannot by any possibility become a barrier to the desired result. It seems to us clear, therefore, that the ultimate effect of the recent vote of the Athletic committee will simply be to free our intercollegiate athletics from many disagreeable complications such as those which have come into prominence this college year, and to tighten the bonds already existing between Harvard and Yale until they are at last drawn together into a dual league...
