...members from all the principal preparitory schools in the land. These facts may be characteristic of other colleges as well as Yale, but nowhere to such an extent. And this was the case a hundred years ago. In the catalogue for 1839-40 every state in the union, except Indiana and Arkansas, was represented and also Canada, West Inda, Greece, Ireland and Brazil. The halls of congress have continually been thronged with Yale graduates, and in 1865 while five presidents of New England colleges were Harvard men, eleven came from Yale. At that time she also furnished twenty two presidents...

If Yale and Harvard cannot hold games without red tape and cumbrous regulations they ought to "quit." The example of the English universities ought to put us to shame. Every feeling but a desire for good sport and fair play ought to be banished from our athletic fields. Since one conference has resulted in a majestic secret, I repeat, I believe more than half the college would favor no league but a tacit...
