...exercise will be possible, and the inter-collegiate contests at hand. The time for preparation is limited and each man wishes to know what to expect, whether the resolutions will be put in force and college athletics make a radical change, or whether the necessary number of colleges will fail to ratify and athletics continue in the old ruts. It is very annoying to hear that this or that college faculty have postponed or delayed their decision in the matter.

This addition to the regular curriculum, not being brain work, would be but a slight extra burden and might be made to fill up some of the spare hours between the regular...
