...there is much work for the reformer in the field of college sports; but can our college faculties remedy an evil whose causes lie in the decline in college sentiment? Undue waste of time they can easily and properly prevent by maintaining a rigorous standard of scholarship; into the rest of the field they can hardly venture, and prohibitory legislation must fail to touch the evil, while arousing resentment.

...thing, and one thing only, can be done to keep co-operation alive and to give us the benefits of the society for the rest of this year, and that is a voluntary assessment footing up to about $600. With that sum, and the sale of the greater part of the stock, it will be possible to run the society through the year on a smaller scale, -say coal and wood, book orders, stationery, tennis goods, and the list of affiliated tradesmen, and employing two clerks, and the superintendent only one day in the week.
