The Independent has collected an interesting
lot of opiniens concerning athletics in col
leges. Bishop F. D. Huntington says that
nothing can prevent these matches from
being an enormous school of bad morals in
betting and gambling, and that they cause
disorder, waste, prodigality, q carnival of
animalism or any of the vulgarities of vice.
The Rev. DIR. Howard Crosby says there is
neither dignity nor sense in identifying a
college faculty with students games. The
moment there are rival clubs in different
colleges to contend for mastery the mind is
diverted from intellectual study, the classes
think more of their boat race than of their
Mathematics and the muscular man under
training is the hero of the college. 1t de-
bases the morals of collsgians. Let the
games and sports Of collegians be confined to
the college campus among themselves in
simple and impromptu style. The Rev DR..
John Hall thinks that ne great evil has yet
been done, and in many instances the best
students have been the best men on boats
and bars. But the chief end of colleges is
not in this direction. The Rev. DR.. Newman
Smyth writes that the effect of athletics
upon the standards of physical virtue in our
colleges should not be underestimated.
Bishop Thomas NJ. Clark says that while
young men are not sent to college in order
to become athletes yet it is well, on all ae-
counts, that they should become athletic.
President Samuel G. Bartlett sees one unde-
sirable outgrowth of the present state of the
case in a tendency to substitute for the
healthy sports of the many and excessive
strain upon the very few. The Rev. DE-.
Theodore L. Cuyler protests against the
increasing furor for intercollegiate pitched
battles, whether with cars, fists, or footballs
"There is not good thing in the world that
the devil will let alone; and just now he is
trying to get the upper hand in the impor-
tant matter of physical exercise for college
students %
