...labors of the Harvard athletic committee and of President Eliot in behalf of such cooperation at last have begun to bear fruit in the regulations already adopted by the Harvard faculty, and soon very probably to be adopted by the four other colleges necessary to give them effect. There now seems little doubt therefore that the experiment of the new system will be tried, and that Harvard is to be among those who first will feel its effects...
...directly 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...
...second place, has the conference committee done wisely in extending its restrictions into such matters of detail as e. g. to prohibit all contests with non-collegiate amateurs, and to insist upon regulating such a comparatively unimportant point (unimportant as concerns the effect of the resolutions in general) as the length of intercollegiate boat-races? At no point in this discussion has student opinion been directly consulted, at least in any such way as to affect the final decision and therefore we do not know that it s worth while to discuss this point now that everything is practically settled...
...third place we question very much the firmness of these regulations in their immediate effects on college athletics no less than we doubt and fear their influence on college sports in general in the long run.

It necessarily follows then that following from the 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...
...thing between running a road through the principal streets of the two cities and simply connecting them by one line. As to the danger to real estate, a road throwing Mr. Auburn and Green streets to main street and thence over the bridge to Boston would have no serious effect upon the value of the land. And thus would be avoided that discomfort which is incurred from running a road through the crowded streets of a city. We look at the proposed road from an economical standpoint and in it we recognize not only the source of great convenience...
