In another column we publish a circular that has been sent to every man in the University. We hardly need urge men to answer fully and carefully the questions it asks. Everyone will see how nearly the result of the investigation will affect the future position of Harvard in athletics, and how useless the result will be if not complete and accurate. Everyone who holds the interest of his college dear-and we are certain that there are few who do not-must do all he can to make the way clear for intelligent action on the part of those who govern it. We are certain the faculty have taken the right course for clearing away the difficulties of our present situation by the investigation of facts; for in facts lies the strongest argument of those who hold that the athletic contests as they are today are beneficial, not hurtful.
