Although we do not doubt that the authorities were actuated by the best motives, and thought that their decision would be for the good of the college and its athletic interests, we do not think that any interference at the present time was necessary. This is not the time for any such action. The whole proceeding was rushed through without taking the requisite amount of care in such an important matter.

But this result would not perhaps be looked upon altogether as an evil by those in power. We cannot but think that the accession of Princeton, Brown and Columbia at least to the new scheme is necessary to its success at Harvard on any other basis than the total destruction of inter-collegiate sports with...
