...proposition whatever save that of a dual league. The answer to the question is not easy. And yet this is certain, that the action that Harvard has thus far taken is a half way action, that she should either have postponed the question of a withdrawal, or else have withdrawn from all athletics. The former alternative is now out of the question-the latter only remains, and there is certainly much to commend this. The position in which Harvard stands today is in danger of becoming equivocal. By withdrawing entirely from any systematized intercollegiate athletics, Harvard would occupy a completely...
...first resolution is a step towards purity in college athletics, the second looks as though Harvard had eagerly seized an opportunity of forming a dual league with Yale; it seems as though purity in athletics is not the only desired end. Again, the Advocate thinks that Harvard should have withdrawn from all the leagues, and not from the football league only.

Hayward is an excellent study of William Gilmore Simmes' six novels on the revolutionary period. The other articles of the number are up to the usual high standard of the Monthly, the one entitled "Materials for Landscape...
...captains of the baseball, foot ball and Mott Haven teams. The amendment was accepted by Mr. Sears. When the question was thrown open to discussion it soon became evident that there was a decided opposition to the appointment of a committee thus constituted; in the end the amendment was withdrawn, and for the original motion was substituted one to the effect that the meeting appoint a committee to consider the advisability of the changes suggested. This motion was carried. There then followed a long discussion as to how the committee should be chosen, the athletic men clinging to their original...
