It is very noticeable that the Yale News is at present pursuing the policy - which is the policy of their athletic organization - of using undue persuasion in the shape of lavish compliment, offers of high advancement, donations of old shells and so forth, to make proselytes for their athletic teams among the various schools. It is a very well known fact that the St. Paul's club and other clubs at Yale are deliberately formed for this purpose, and that graduates of the different schools are sent to make converts of the most valuable athletes left in them. Now, although Yale's athletic ranks are filled in a great measure by these means - which are certainly enterprising, although they may not be anything better, - we still think that Harvard would do well to offer advantages in the way of school-clubs here. There are so many graduates of St. Pauls, Exeter, Andover and St. Marks here in college, that such clubs would be perfectly easy to form, if some interested graduates would only start them. They not only would offer pleasant places for reunion among old school friends in college, and would offer men coming to college a place where they could go at once on their arrival, find old friends and make new ones.

There is no doubt that our athletics could be strengthened by such proceedings. Let some one move in this matter.
