...Either Harvard's high standard is right and should be defended, come what may, or it is wrong and should be modified. The demand of the professional schools to have men graduated younger will not be met by keeping the standard where it is, and cutting off the freshman year. Moreover that process would sever Harvard's connections with the fitting schools and leave her hanging to the stars. If the professional schools are to be satisfied by any action which the colleges can take, it is the senior year which must be sacrificed. After all, a Harvard junior...

The outlook seems particularly hopeless from a general belief that recent failures are not due to a temporary lack of material, but a wrong method on the part of the students in bringing together and selecting the material, and in putting it into proper shape. The students are rightly excusing themselves in the restrictions put upon them by the faculty's regulations; causing, as they believe, an entirely wrong tone in athletic affairs...
