GATHERING MOMENTUM

The agreement drawn up and approved yesterday by student-delegates from twenty-three colleges to the Inter-collegiate Parley on Education at Wesleyan University is the most significant development that has yet occurred in the movement to reduce the emphasis upon college football. It is now evident that the movement is of no merely local or sectional interest, but is a national reaction of college students against the existing maladjustment between athletics and scholarship.

The salient points of the Wesleyan agreement are published elsewhere in this issue. When they are considered together with what has already appeared in these columns on the subject, it seems unnecessary to add that the CRIMSON is in thorough accord with the purpose which brought forth this effort to restore harmony between college football and college studies.
