The meet of the Harvard and Pennsylvania swimming teams this evening is the most important dual athletic event in which teams of the two universities have competed since 1905. Just how much importance is to be attached to this instance, we do not know. It is not likely that it means anything more than the occasional meeting of teams in the minor sports. But it is enough to indicate that the strained relations following the break of 1905 are becoming less tense. Athletic quarrels between great universities have something very absurd about them; we hope that the time may come when they will be altogether a thing of the past.
