...sports, while in New England the French calisthenics are popular. Each system is good in its way, but in order to make perfect bodies and clear heads the three should be combined. There are probably no sports more invigorating than skating, bicycling, and riding horseback, but if carried to excess they are positively detrimental to the nervous system. This is the great trouble with our athletic clubs and college societies. All sorts of feats are indulged in for personal gratification, for medals, for money.

That they should have the privilege of indulging in their annual custom of "bowl breaking" as long as it only acts upon themselves will not be doubted.

...form of "professionalism" and the so called "sporting world"-an objection which we still hold to be somewhat vague and ill-defined in spite of the arguments to the contrary expressed at this conference. We cannot believe that the alternative is so rigid as Pres. Eliot has urged. Whatever excess and whatever tendendency to professionalism there has been of late years can be corrected without such sweeping changes as the faculty proposes. A middle course is possible to this extent, that we can retrace our steps and place college athletics once again in the position which they held...
