A thorough examination was recently made in Cornell University of the records in scholarship of the men who engaged in intercollegiate sports since the opening of the college. The result showed that the average scholarship for the year of each man who rowed on the crews was 70 per cent., that of base ball players 73 per cent, and that of those engaged in track athletics 76 per cent. The per cent. of athletes who graduated was greater than the per cent. for the whole University. These results whould seem to show that intercollegiate contests, when kept within reasonable limits, do not interfere with the general scholarship of educational institutions.
