There will be a definite split in the Freshman squad on the strength of this afternoon's trials. The first three or four men in each even will be put on the first squad and will practice regularly in the Stadium with the University runners...

As if this leveling were not sufficient, the "aristocratic" upper-class eating clubs were to be abolished. That was the rock on which he split. Bad as is the club or fraternity system in all American universities--with its overemphasized and largely unjust distinction between the ins and the outs the great body of graduates knew that it was more wisely controlled at Princeton then elsewhere and that at worst it was a time-honored institution...

There were two important reasons which led to the split, and consequent shift to Northfield of the conference this year.

The second reason is that Northfield was the original site of these conferences, and thus has a close connection with them. Before Silver Bay was picked in 1920, there was an uninterrupted succession of 24 annual student gatherings at Northfield...
