iIthktiE3. ¥ If T ITIIIN the last few years the subject of College Athletics, with reference to their good and evil tenden- V cies, has been thoroughly discussed. The theories propounded by the old Grecian philosophers are now accepted facts: they have been tried from that time to this and good has been the result. The necessity of physical activity for the attaining that full-orbed and harmonious development of all parts of the human economy so essential to robust, vigorous health, is no longer doubted. There are but few persons v.fho will deny the fact that students must have good bodily exercise. We all see the necessity of exercise for health, but as to the amount and kind required, widely differing opinions are held. Although they think it essential, yet they think there is decidedly more attention paid to it in our colleges and universities than is expedient. They admit the truth of the old saying with regard to a sane mind in a sound bodj ' , ' but they consider the .sound body as an accident of inheritance or surroundings. Those at the head of our large institutions are fully convinced of the needs of students along this line, and they are doing all that seems possible to meet their wants in the way of athletic fields, buildings and apparatvis. Eeg ' ular systematic exercise is not only encouraged, biit it is made compulsory, and the result is that better work and a greater amount of work is accomplished than when but little or no attention is paid to this side of man ' s nature. From the many articles printed in our daily papers on College Athletics one would be led to believe that they are fast becoming a dangerous element in the stvidenfs life. They would have you believe that the original piirpose of our colleges and universities had been lost sight of. that the edvication of the mind had been made a secondary matter, and that they would soon be a place fitted up for the training of pugilists and professional athletes. - Such, perhaps, they would seem to be at certain times of the year, when contests are held between rival schools, and college spirit has gone beyond conti ' ol. ; Many things ai-e perpetrated at such times that no college faculty could sanction. Neither does the fair-minded student stand up for such behavior. But such criticisms are not fair arguments against the system. They are looking at it at a time when excellence in achievement has taken the place of the true motive of the system. ; It is not the real purpose of the system to develop the physical side of man ' s nature alone.- He who has only that side strong is of no more use to the world, in general, ithan he who has developed the mental or moral to the exclusion of the physical. The aim is to keep the body healthy, that the mind may be active and strong. The two go hund in hand. The one is just as essential as the other. L The system of athletics, as any other system, has its objections, but we believe these are more than overbalanced by the advantages it offers. It opens the way for the development of certain quali- 64
