THE victory yesterday afternoon gave us the championship in the series with the University of Pennsylvania. It has taken four games to decide it and Pennsylvania has shown herself worthy of a place in the front rank of university teams. Not only has she proved this in the series with Harvard but Yale and Princeton have found her worthy of their best efforts. Our new relations with Pennsylvania, introduced by the arrangement of these baseball games and further strengthened by the new alliance in football will virtually increase by one the circle of greater university teams which up to this time has been limited to Harvard, Yale and Princeton. These new relations mean much more than the mere pleasure of another worthy rival. They show a growing spirit of friendliness which must be refreshing to every man who has watched the petty squabbles of the colleges in recent years. Harvard and Pennsylvania have come to an agreement that puts them in an unfailing relation to each other and the sooner all the colleges come to an understanding about athletic matters and reduce them to one common basis the better off we shall be. There is a spirit of manliness and generosity at the bottom of all intercollegiate relations, but it has often been smothered by jealousy and misunderstanding. Sooner or later this spirit must be supreme and the highest aim which our athletic men can have is to bring this about as soon as possible. In all sincerity, then, we welcome the new relations with Pennsylvania as indicative of the growth of the new university spirit.
