...another column, is certainly as far as it goes highly commendable. Its purpose obviously is to guard against the introduction of professionalism into college athletics and to minimize the possibility of graduates returning to college solely for the purpose of joining athletic teams. The action now taken has long been needed, and will, we hope, fully accomplish its purpose. College athletics have been slowly but surely assuming the character of professionalism-have, in other words, been gradually assuming a position which they have no right to occupy.

The other weak points in Harvard's play were poor passing, fumbling by the halfbacks, and inability of the rush line to hold their opponents long enough to give the fullback a fair chance to kick.

His story of the early days of the American stage...

The university spirit here has among its dangers the total extinction of class feeling, and this tandency has been quietly at work for the last few years. That all class enthusiasm should be crushed out, however, seems far from desirable. We are a little apt in some ways to grow old too soon here at Harvard, and in the development of our individuality to forget that class...
