During the past few years President Eliot's attitude towards athletics has been so much commented on, and so much misunderstood, that it is doubtful if the members of the University have any correct idea as to what his opinions really are. The position of the Corporation in regard to sports has also been much criticised without being sufficiently well known, while the functions of the Athletic Committee have never been well explained to the undergraduate body.

In view of these facts the opportunity of being set aright in regard to these matters which is offered by the talks to be given on these subjects tonight by President Eliot and Professor Hollis is one of which every student in the University should avail himself. It is certainly a matter of great interest to every one to know what President Eliot's views on athletics really are, while it is of the utmost importance that every member of the University, and especially every member of an athletic organization, should know the position of the Corporation in regard to athletics and the functions of the Athletic Committee.
