...proper preservation of the trophies and records of the year, the perpetuation of the custom in future would probably be fully ensured. Moreover, just at present, a committee from the different athletic organizations should set to work in order to repair the remissness of recent years. The University authorities stand ready to give all proper assistance; much good can be accomplished through a little concerted work by the students...
