...announcement that this evening's dinner will offer an opportunity for the free discussion of the present athletic situation is welcome news to all for while this privilege has been fully open before, there are yet several important phases of the question deserving attention which have come into prominence since the Yale-Princeton game, and which have not, therefore, received anything like careful attention. If is, of course, foreign to the purpose of the dinner that any definite move whatsoever should be made-that is at once undesirable and out of the question; but the hope is entertained that there...
...criticism of Harvard's action published today presents another phase of the misconception which has grown up concerning our present attitude on the football question. The questions are asked, Is not the dual league after all purely a Harvard scheme? Has not Harvard by withdrawing hurt rather than bettered her position? The answer to one question is the answer to both. The trouble with Princeton has no don't called out an expression of much needless ill-feeling.

This is even more clearly shown in their weapons and other instruments. The civil customs are similar to those of other people who rank low in civilization. Their religious ideas are very limited; there is no idolatry among the Australians, but their few religions conceptions take...
...demands but, after all, their aim is the same. Forming. as they do, the strongest incentive to literary work, they are coming to see that their power in the future must depend largely upon their unity. The apparent rivalry between them has always been more fancied than real. That phase of college journalism by which one paper makes capital by carping at another is past. At Harvard, the papers have learned to rely upon themselves and confine their comments upon their contemporaries to friendly and usually straightforward criticisms. The proposed dinner is a rational outcome of the tendency towards...
