...existence, but as yet no common agreement. Assuming that the word is here used roughly to de note any one who is not undergraduate, but who rows or plays ball as a matter of business, it seems rather hard that a college nine or crew should not have a right to get themselves coached by such a man. The objection mentioned in the resolution is that the crew or nine with a professional coach would have an advantage over crews and nines having no coach; that, therefore, professionals would be employed, if at all, university, and that this would tend...
...Post alone, we believe, has given an editorial discussion of the question worthy its importance to that large section of the community known as the college world. With all the conclusions of the Post, we are glad to say, we entirely concur. The idea that college faculties have no right of interference in athletics as we have already said is quite untenable. This opinion is also expressed by the Post. "But there is a wide difference," it continues, "between the exercise in each college of a general supervisory power over sports, and the attempt to establish an inter-collegiate code...

McClellan, however, did none of these things, but instead changed his base and brought on the conflict of Gaines Mill. Porter is stationed at Gaines Mill with twenty thousand men, against him are hurled the overwhelming masses of A. P. Hill's. Jackson...
...request. This is hardly the spirit that the college expects from the freshmen, and the sooner they get over it the better will be their chances for success. There is plenty of material in '87 for a good nine, but the men do not come forward with the right spirit. Captain Loud is an energetic man, but a captain can do little unless supported by his men. The entire working of the nine bears a marked contrast with that of preceding classes, and we should think that '87 would endeavor to supersede, or at any rate tie the good record...
