...aspect of the question. The refusal, we make no doubt, must be generally regarded as an act of discourtesy to all those colleges which have joined in the agreement, and especially a slight upon Harvard, where the movement originated. Of course the Yale faculty has a perfect right to settle its own regulations in regard to athletics in the way it deems wisest; but nevertheless it is undoubtedly an act of rudeness on her part to pay so little heed to the combined requests of so many colleges in a matter where concession would cost so little to herself, comparatively...
