...think the Athletic Association has determined wisely in arranging for a fall athletic meeting. The utter abandonment of the sports for the fall would be very injurious to our chances of success next spring. The system of handicap races which has hitherto proved so satisfactory will be extended so much that a chance will be given to every athlete of any ability whatever.

They instructed their committees to notify the seniors that unless the faculty reinstated them soon on reasonable terms they would withdraw from the institution. The seniors, feeling that this meant utter ruin to the institution, whose interest they have at heart, decided if possible to overlook the wrongs which they have received at the hands of the faculty, and make amends for their act of disobedience by submitting the following apology under protest, all of which seems to redound far more...
