...members of the Athletic Committee would be relieved of the clerical and office work now thrust upon them. All matters of well-known detail, such as the approval of schedules, etc., would be settled by the permanent treasurer, who would pass up to the Committee only the larger questions as to our athletic policy with regard to other colleges, the general way in which our own athletics are to be managed...

At present there is grave danger of Harvard's becoming one of several large "provincial" universities. If it is to retain the place it has hitherto held, a larger proportion of its material must be drawn from parts of the country other than New England. This article is admirably supplemented by an account of the Associated Harvard Clubs, the great Harvard organization of the West, by their president, R. G. Brown '84. Both writers point out the need...
