THE LEONHAUsER REPORT.

The decision of the court of inquiry which

against the Fifteenth regiment by Gen. Young will
not occasion much surprise. The proceedings of the
inquiry board had been made public in substantial

it has long been plain to Minnesota public that

OF malice and prejudice of woefu lack of jude-
ment. No body of civilians, without the
hottest conception of military discipline would have
rendered themselves amenable to such charges with
out being willing to be stamped as poltroons.
The findings of the court will probably meet all
the requirements of the case so far as the officers
of the regiment concerned, although there will
remain natural feeling that responsible officer
capable of dealing with his fellow officers in such
an unwarrantaby severe fashion should himself be
made the object of a court of inquiry. If his
madversions allowed to go unpublished and direct
ly unrebuked, there will be something Of failure Of
justice resulting.
But whether the military authorities think proper
to take cOgnizance of Gen. Young's extraordinary
performance they should not entirely ignore the
sentences. severe beyond all just estimation which
the men from the ranks of the Fifteenth are now

Gen. Young may be dismissed from the thoughts

HOW TO DECIDE IT.

The striking victories of the Harvard crews over
those of Yale in the recent contest show unmis-
takably the superiority of the former. They far
however, from showing that the eght-Oared crew Of
Harvard is the superior of any of the crews of tho
other universities which engaged in similar
test Tuesday last.
The lovers of aquatic sports have the right ia
know which of all the various college crews of che
country is the best. They know that the Pennsyl-
vania crew won the magnificent contest recently at
POughkeepsie and they are perfectly assured that
Yale college is far in the rear of Harvard What
all would like to know now is whether Harvard can
beat either or both of the who closely con-
tested the earlier The fact that Harvard de-
feated Yale completely proves nothing beyord the
superiority of of these over the other 1t
is far from proving that its the equals Of
those either of Pennsylvania or Wisconsin or even
of Cornell, which made such an unexpectedly poor
showing in the principal American Intercollegiate
contest.
The appearance of Western university as
serious contestant for aquatic honors has been an
occasion of surprise to many; but the remarkable
record made by Wisconsin has satisfied most peO-
pie that had 1t not been for the unfortunate mis-
take made in steering, the Western boys would have
carried off the prize.
The feeling expressed by the G lobe that the
college oarsmen should get together through the par
ticipaton of the crews of Yale and Harvard in the
general contest for supremacy meets with general
approval. In view of the open question of the
periority of the American and British amateur
men, and the desirabity of having that issue set
tied from time to time, the maintenance Of ap-
parent division among American oarsmen is utterly
indefensble

INTELLECT AND ATHLETICS.

The action of the Alumni association of the Wis
consin university in expressing its concurrence in
the opinion that much time is civ en- to athletics
in universities revives subject which has pro-
voked inconsiderabe amount of discussion.
There is a view of this question which
to be strangely ignored by those who advocate tile
athletes side of the controversy. The curriculum
of the average university is designed to enable
a young to make his or her way il
any of the professional artistic scientific call
ings. A good doctor, lawyer civil engineer Is
likely to be a much better doctor, lawyer
gineer account of his having mastered the
ricuum of his college. But the world is full Of
excellent lawyers, doctors and engineers of whom.
strangely enough, the world has heard.
There is not the other hand, single frst-class
athlete in the entire country who is not known,
beloved and envied by all the rest Of creation.
OF course it is not necessary to graduate from
a leading university to be a frstclass athlete.
Some people believe that proficiency in the higher
studies usually Gisqualfes man for the rOugh-and-
tumble experiences of business life which are neces-
sary in the acquisition of a fortune. However this
may be- it is doubt true. least to extent
that the unpleasant necessity of giving so many
hours day to the mastery of studies which have
nothing to do with ones physical development
interferes with that proficiency in athletics which
might enable to become truly great.
The Qate) Robert Fitzsimmons graduated from
the backsmiths anvil. His predecessor, Mr. Cor
bett was a more less expert accountant. The
predecessor and the superior of both of them
in all that constitutes popular glory. the Hon John
Lawrence Sullivan, had well defined occupation
when he adopted the ancient and honorable callng,
of athletics while the proud and nvincible James
Jeffries appears at early day to have deserted
the of scholastic knowledge, in which his
godly father has walked all through life for the re-
sounding pursuit of boermaker. 1t is hardly
an eXaggeratiOn to say that had either of these
pursued scholastic study to the neglect how
ever slight, of tie athletic pursuits he would never
have arrived at the pecunary success which they
have all won.
1t may may not be that too much time
is given athletics in universities to the neg
lect of scholastic studies, and. accordingly the
detrment of future success; but it is least open
discussion whether it is not the other PROPOSE
ton that is really true, that college Students for
their future success, are really giving too mucn
time to study.
