A COMPARISON WITH YALE.

It is interesting, in the midst of the most heated athletic discussion in which we have yet been plunged, to note the enviable serenity of our rivals. The Yale Daily News, in commenting upon the subject now foremost in all our minds, sums up the Yale position as follows: "At Yale the situation has never been much in doubt. The Faculty as a rule leaves the decision of athletic questions in the hands of the undergraduates, who would object very strongly to any curtailment of the various athletic schedules." And even if the Yale faculty did not do so, the undergraduates would have little to fear. President Hadley has been quoted as saying. "Some" of the students "wish to go home for Saturday or Sunday. Others go to the nearest city to amuse themselves. Each of these things, particularly the latter, is a more serious cause of interruption to college work than are most of the intercollegiate sports. If sports keep the students together, I am afraid we shall do more harm than good by discouraging them." Princeton also has little cause for worry, for President Wilson said at a recent dinner in Chicago that by athletics the great majority of undergraduates are not too much absorbed.

Alas, with minor exceptions, our troubles are all our own.
