...first annual report of the graduate treasurer for athletics is enough in itself to show conclusively that the plan of having an older head to control our athletic expenses is a good one. When we think of the bad management in some of the past years, we wonder that the position of graduate treasuer was not established long before. Now that it has been put on a sure footing, we need have no longer the slightest fear of utterly reckless and extravagant managing by undergraduates...
