...grounds in condition. President Low announced that $17,530 has been raised which will be quite sufficient to put the grounds in repair. The plans for the new organization provide for an executive committee of sixteen, eight graduates and eight undergraduates, which will have supervision over athletic sports. Each of the four leading sports of the college, rowing, baseball, foot ball and track athletics, have an association which now elects one member of the Advisory committee.

The example of the English universities ought to put us to shame. Every feeling but a desire for good sport and fair play ought to be banished from our athletic fields. Since one conference has resulted in a majestic secret, I repeat, I believe more than half the college would favor no league but a tacit agreement...
