...Harvard graduates-as simply ridiculous." We do not know about the feelings of the public generally in regard to speak for the graduates of Harvard. Among undergraduates, however, the "fiat" has come to be almost universally approved. Just what the Clipper means by the "good" of the nine is uncertain; but if it refers to increased efficiency in playing, we would remark that it was not the purpose of the new rules to increase the skill of the nine but to rid it of professional tendencies.
