the explicit manner in which ne has
stated the facts. 1t would be far more
of an injustice to refrain from giving
the public this glimpse behind the
scenes.
There is only one point on which
! am trife hay. So far as an ac-
tual aid in promoting education, 1t IS
hard TO conceive the value of any
athletic sport. However, 1t appears
obvious to me that II there is educa-
tional value in athletics. then such
value is as great. whether the oppo-
nents be one school or another, Just
as long as 1t is reputable institu-
tios
Value of Outdoor Exercise.
The value of athletics 10 either uni
versity or college lies in the physical
development of the men engaging In
such sport. Where such physical de-
velopment is obtained. the student Is
better able to do the work mapped out
for him. He is brighter in the class
room and in all round better condition
than the fellow who leads continue
Gus indoor existence. But even in this
case, 1t looks as If the question OF
which school is to be played hardly
enters into the argument, again pre-
from among reputable institutions.
If it is a question of prestige to be
gained through association with some
of the major schools throughout the
United States, that puts different
light on the situation. Such being the
case, the department of athletics hears
the same relation to university or
college as does the press agent to
theatrical production, and the aid to
education achieved through athletics
is in reality an aid to the purse by
increasing the enrolment, through eX-
ploitation of athletic prowess.
Premises Mny De Unfounded.
/ am not charging that any of the
above happens to fit the present case.
/ am certain that the faculty commit
tee of the university would never let
the matter of whether victory could
be achieved or not enter into the ques:
ton. 1 am simply anxious to find out
Just in what way a game with V. p l.
could lessen the educational value OF
the university. Blacksburg sends many
students to the university, and ath-
lctic relations would certainly tend to
increase regard, the one for the other.
Naturally. 1 hope that the faculty COM
mittee viii favor the game. I trust
that when they consider the question
they can see their way clear to &C
auiesce IN the desire for the contest.
A vast majority of the student bodies
OF both schools want the game. AS Dr..
Lambeth says, the past has been for
gotten. In the light of these facts.

mittee may View the question from
