...much so -- and I present this as a thought, merely -- that when we adopt for the athletic field a system of endeavor less serious in its demands and less exalted in its obligations are we not operating to defeat the primary purposes of essential university work as already set forth? In other words, does not a boy, whether he be a Varsity man or a member of a class or whatever team, receive moral and physical benefit from any game in which he may play in proportion as he is taught and inspired to play that game to the limit...

Great benefits are in the new system in so far as athletics for the undergraduate body are developed, and in the establishment of good athletic supervision. But in the spirit of reorganization, Yale seems to have overshot the mark and evidences a desire to win at all costs. This aspiration to retrieve the fallen Eli athletic laurels seems to have gone beyond the scope of the desired reconstruction, in the reduction of the much discussed expensive semi-professionalism of college athletics, particularly by the resumption...
