There is a brighter outlook for
athletics at Harvard just now than
at the other two big colleges, Yale
and Princeton. Not only does the
Crimson have reasonably good pros
poets for athletics, but there is every
reason to believe that before No
vember comes there will be a Har-
ward eleven on the field. There will
be no paid coach, and it is believed
that the traditional games with Yale
and Princeton will be taboo; but
even go, the Harvard authorities
feel that such an informal team as
Captain Durham has in mind will
serve to keep the spirit of the game
alive.
The mere fact that Bill Haines,
coach of the crew, has been instruct
ed to go ahead with his plans for
fall rowing ard has called out Il
squad is sufficient indication that
the Crimson is not to shut itself off
from all athletics.

Introduction of Boxing
Among College Students

Defying Unole Sam, the Ohio
state Journal tells what it thinks
about the manly art. as included
in athletic training. as follows:
we note that one of the obli-
gatory studies in the student body
OF the colleges giving military in
struction is boxing lessons. We
don't like that, because it recog-
nizes a virtue in all boxing bouts
and incipient prizefights, with
which the country is blighted.
There are plenty of other athletic
Exercises without resorting to one
that encourages the pugilistic ten
1encies> of the youth. There is
nothing in it that is elevating;
nothing that uplifts and honors
the associations of youth. 1t really
introduces into a boys life an am
bition to be a fist-fighter. which
may finally develop into a profess
sional boxing career. 1t is to be
regretted that the government ex-
tends the slightest favor to this
innovation upon real education. 1t
is an educational subterfuge that
no true boy should he forced into.
Its associations and influences will
not contribute to the good charac-
ter da military education. 1t
should Vbe cut out. 1t is not need
ed and " is n poor discrimination
that makes it an obligatory part

conceive to De the order of their importance:
 First. the winning of the war, which includes the prompt movement of the men and material that the government requires. To this everything else must be subordinated.
 Second. the service of the public. which is the purpose for which inc railways were built and given the privileges accorded them. This implies the maintenance and improvement of the railroad properties so that aGc- quate transportation facilities will be provided at the lowest cost, the object or the government being to furnish service rather than to make money.
 Third. the promotion of a spirit of sympathy and a better understandings as between the administration of the railways and their 100000 employees as well as their 1Oo.OOo,ooo patrons. which latter class includes every indi- vidual in the nation. since transporta- tion has become prime and universal necessity of civilized existence.
 SOUND ECONOMIES
 Fourth. the application of sound economies including:
 ''The elimination of a superfluous expenditure;
 ''The payment of a fair and living wage for services rendered and a just and prompt compensation for injuries received:
 The purchase of material and equir- ment at the lowest prices consistent with a reasonable but not an excessive profit to the producer;
 The adoption of standardized equip- ment and the introduction of approved devices that will save life and labor;
 The routing of freight and passen- ger traffic with due regard to the fact that a straight line is the shortest dis tance between two points;
 ''The intensive employment of all equipment and careful record and scientific study of the results obtained. with view to determining the com parative efficiency secured.
 The development of this policy will. Of course. require time. The task to which the railroad administration has addressed itself is an immense one. It is as yet too early to judge of the results obtained. but I believe that great progress has been made toward the goal of our ideals. All those who have had share in this great work, including especially the members of my staff and the officers and employees of the railways. have shown intelli- gence, public spirit, loyalty and en- thusiasm in dealing with problems that have already been solved and attack ing those that still await solution.
 With their continued cooperation, l feel assured of future in which the lessons of our accommodating experience will be effectively employed to human ize the science of railroading and nega- tive the idea that corporations have no souls"
