...opening its eyes. It is high time it did so, for in this time when the relations between man and his neighbor are becoming so complicated, the place to which men look for a scientific investigation of the problem is the greatest university in the country. Moreover, if the object of education, as has been said, is to breed good citizens, what part of a citizens education can be more important than that which makes him aware of his true relation to his fellow citizens...

Certain means of rattling the players, testing their coolness and nerve are perfectly legitimate; but let the interference stop there. After all, the object is to see which team can play the better and steadier game, and any practices which prevent a team from playing its best (beyond the practices of legitimate rattling) are distinctly to be discouraged. Using mirrors to throw the sunlight into the players' eyes, a practice which was fortunately stopped...
