It would be doubtful, in fact, whether class teams could be maintained at all without the stimulus of a hard-working freshman team in need of practice and encouragement; but even if they were, the best freshman athletes would have small inducement to train and develope their abilities for later university teams. These facts were recognized by the faculty committee, appointed in 1888 to investigate athletics. They reported: "In view to the fact that these...

...therefore, that students as well as instructors should derive from them whatever benefit they may give. The knowledge of one's midyear marks is often of value, giving one an opportunity to learn how one's work is regarded by the instructors, and at the same time serving, if need be, as a warning to one who is delinquent. Those who begin an unfamiliar study, Philosophy or Political Economy, for example, are often unable to estimate their own work, until, by means of the midyear marks, they see on what basis they must study during the second half year...
