FOOTBALL AT WEST POINT.

After all the discussion of abolishing football, and after the sad accident of last fall, the announcement of West Point's football schedule for next season carries a deep significance. It means that the United States Military Academy has decided to take its usual place on the football field this autumn, and in a larger sense, that football has come to be considered too important a factor in university life to be consigned to the past without mature consideration and stronger arguments than are now advanced.

We understood and sympathized with the discontinuation of the game at West. Point last fall; we are glad now that it has been decided to continue the game there, and we are glad that Harvard has a place on the schedule.
