PEACE WITH HONOR

The athletic relations between Harvard and Princeton in all sports but football recognizes an existing undergraduate entente cordiale. Athletic is the natural expression of good feeling that has gradually come to replace the prejudices leading to the break of 1926. Ever since representatives of the Princetonian and the CRIMSON met a year ago and adopted a mutual policy of reconciliation it has been evident that not ill-feeling but only differences of football policy remained to keep two friends apart.

Recent expressions in Cambridge and in Princeton of an undergraduate sentiment favoring resumption of relations in all sports except football have grown so strong as to remove all doubts as to the attitude of the two student bodies towards each other. It is clear that the officials have acted wisely in no longer allowing football to dominate the issue and prohibit all other sports.

Because of the grounds for the present resumption Harvard-Princeton relations are now on the soundest possible basis; friendship founded on mutual respect. It is true that at present football policies remain divergent, and that complete harmony awaits future adjustments. However, there is no reason to believe that these differences should be allowed to affect the rest of the program. Football must be left to a later date; hasty action at the present time is to be avoided. Harvard and Princeton men of today have the long-anticipated opportunity to meet again in sporting contests on a dual basis.
