...been taken seriously by many men in the University who are of first squad calibre, and as a result Captain Brickley and Coach Haughton have found it necessary to issue a second and a third call for candidates.

...hired, as professors by either institution individually, will be engaged only by the common consent obtained after consultation, which will insure a faculty which will be of equal common good. Although the individualism of neither institution will be in any way affected, yet it is obvious that each will have great influence in shaping the affairs of the combination, as is further evidenced by the fact that each president will have strong voice in the other's successor.

That rich phrase, reduplication of effort, has always pointed an accusing finger at the obvious waste of rival educational institutions serving the same community. But a sort of desire for solitary completeness has been put aside and co-operation, which sixteen and eleven years ago, was suggested and failed to carry, has finally begun. The details of the agreement which was accepted yesterday are bewildering...
