of universtys reputation in connec-
ton with college sports as an asset.
1t is too late to argue against college
sports. 1t is generally recognized that
football and base ball and tennis and
track sports have resulted in bringing
the physical development of young men
to a higher point than ever before at

There is something more than mere
Drawn and muscle in connection with
athletic contests between teams repre-
senting rival educational institutions,
that is to be sought for it's own sake,
however, and that is the college spirit.
Nothing SO arouses enthusiasm and kim
dies loyalty to ones alma mater and
makes the student body one, as the glow
ing interest in occasionally successful
contests with a rival institution.
It is this unity of purpose, this energy
and harmony of action that counts in the
accomplishment of things, whether 1t be

this age of combination few men accom-

from loyal cooperation, and one of the
most pressing needs of the time Is that
young men learn to be loyal to any cause

Growth of College Sports.

Occasionally one hears or a professor
or instructor in a university or college
who seeks to discourage, or at least is
tics in connection with his institution.
Whether the member of a college faculty
believes in college athletics or not, it
cannot be denied that in this age stu
dents are attracted in a marked degree
to those institutions of higher education
which maintain and support teams in
the field and on the track, even if they
are not represented by crews on the
water Moreover many of the leading
universities have adopted the CONNER
cial drummer idea and are leaving no
promising stone unturned to secure stu
dents. This being SO, an institution of
this kind can hardly hope to successful
ly cope with its rivals, ii instead Of
recognizing existing conditions, an ef-
fort is made by individual professors to
combat the influences which count for
the attraction of students, even though
the members Of the faculty as a whole
are laboring in an opposite direction.
An excellent illustration of the tendency
of the times is TO be found in the tele-
graphic announcement that President
Schurman of Cornell University deemed
1t expedient to address a mass meeting
of students called by the undergraduates
for the express purpose of stirring VI
more interest in varsity football which
has suffered there on account Of the para
mount interest in the Cornell navy

that every able bodied student in whom
he is interested might become u candi

LICENSE SITUATION,
(From the MONTPELIER Argus)

A peculiar situation is created in Brat
tleboro where a man whose license was
revoked by the commissioners for selling
liquor to minors has been acquitted in a
case for the same cause brought by the
States attorney. The sales to minors
We're proved. The license commissioners
held that to be sufficient reason for re-
voking the license, in fact believed they
had no option in the matter. The claim
of the defense before the commissioners
and in court was that while the sales
were made it was through mistake, the
boys having misrepresented their ages.
The defense claimed that selling to min
ors was not crime unless there was
intent to violate the law. The jury took
that view and acquitted the man. His
license is gone, however. 1t cannot be
restored and unless the law is amended
he can never secure another license in
