We publish in another column the resolutions voted by the members of the senior class in their meeting. The ideas embodied in these two resolutions appear to us to deserve the hearty support of all members of the University. In regard to the first, which urges the faculty to permit our nine to practice with professional teams, in view of the fact that other colleges do so, we wish to press this as a fair claim. Our position in this matter is that there is no reason why the Harvard nine should be placed at so uncalled for a disadvantage as it is by the present prohibition. If the faculty is firmly set against professional practice, then they ought to show the courage of their conviction more radically than by simply forbidding our nine to play with professionals. They ought to feel called upon to address a circular letter to the other colleges in the league urging the discontinuance of the present custom. We are convinced that a sober appeal from one faculty to another could not fail of bringing about the desired result. As for our own position in this matter, we are persuaded that base-ball would be elevated as a college sport through such a return to former times, thought it might lose some of the niceties which a life of "ball tossing" lends to the game as played by professionals. The present attitude of our faculty is such that they must choose between permitting our nine to play with professionals and of unconditionally pressing the remaining colleges to prohibit such play. It is only by one of these two means that they can escape the natural imputation of a desire to run the chances of our success.
