that it will not interfere with his
work.

suggestion of the Harvard Alumni

those institutions from other colleges be
not permitted to represent them upon
the intercollegiate athletic field. but
II is extremely doubtful that this will
ever be done.
The main objection is that many

would not be sufficient to overhalance
the good which would come out of
such rule. Modern foot ball is
marked by too much proselyting.
