Before the tickets were on sale for the Princeton game, as we are informed, some of the very best seats were sent into the city to be sold at the Athletic and the Somerset clubs. It is easy of course to see the motive which prompted the action, and yet it would seem an injustice to the students that such a thing should be done. College athletics are for them more than for the graduates and certainly more than for the fashionable club man. If, therefore, there are any privileges in an athletic line they certainly seem to us to belong first of all to the students. When outsiders take so large a degree in college athletics that they must be accorded more privileges in them than the students themselves it looks very much as if college games were properly professional contests-and that would be but another way of saying that they had missed their object. Their only purpose, so far as we can see, is to keep alive a thorough-going spirit of manly enthusiasm among the students to act as it were hand in hand with our other advantages here. If, then, athletics are for the students rather than for the world, it seems but fair that the students should reap the benefits of the games. This certainly they can never do unless it is understood that the privileges of athletic contests are granted to them first of all. If athletic games should develop into exhibitions for the eye of the world alone it would be better that they had been abolished, having passed the stage of their full usefulness.
