No graduate who made any effort to keep in touch with the college life could be guilty of such a misrepresentation, but the fact that any of them could have so false a conception shows how misleading are the reports of college life that find their way into the outside world. A man needs to be upon the spot to realize how large a number of men are daily in active training throughout the year, for every one whose name is carried from one end of the country to the other in the sporting columns of the newspapers. We believe that if the speaker referred to were on Soldiers Field any afternoon at this time of the year and then saw the number of men every day on the field and track and the tennis courts, and later in the year in the gymnasium, he would have a far different opinion of the athletic life here. Athletic interest at Harvard is pretty well divided among a number of different sports, but whatever criticism they may be open to, we doubt whether this particular one will stand.
