A. or if the club giving the sports.

The faculty desired, it was stated, that Harvard should be on even terms with the colleges with which she competed. There were three courses open to the college. Either it should allow the present system to be stretched to its full limit and permit professionalism to gain complete sway over our sports, or it should secure the co-operation of other colleges and abolish all intercourse with professionals, or finally the college should withdraw completely from inter-collegiate contests...
