...present over-development of athletics in the colleges of the country is particularly harmful in its effects upon the preparatory schools. It is not to be expected that young boys should set their ideals higher than those which seem to move their elders; and certainly of all the activities of the college men of today, those directed toward the attainment of the athletic ideal are the most conspicuous. The school boy sees almost no side of college life but the devotion to athletics in one form or another, of which he has constant evidence. The real intellectual work which...

I cannot agree with those who say that it is our duty to submit to the desire of the Faculty without a word. There is such a thing as violent, childish kicking against authority; there is also such a thing as a courteous, manly expression of conviction, and how exception can be taken to the latter, I cannot see. In the present instance the Faculty have acted contrary to what undergraduates with practical unanimity believe to be the good...
