Rightly played, the athletic game will teach qualities and ideals that—since human nature is what it is—can hardly be learned so well any- where else on the campus—fair play, courtesy under stress, idealism, honest sportmanship. One may say that the ordinary life of the classroom and the laboratory ought to teach these things quite as well; but they do not, and we must take the facts as they are. On the other hand, there are evils in the athletic system now in vogue in America. Too few play the game; the disgrace of defeat is too acutely felt, especially by the alumnus rooter; too much precious time is consumed by the man who makes the team; college men are vastly more interested in the athletic supremacy of their college than in its intellectual supremacy; there is too much propaganda in operation for securing prominent high school athletes; in some colleges there is too much playing for money or its equivalent in an athletic scholarship, amounting to down- right professionalism. There is no blinking the fact that if these evils are allowed to get the upper hand, the doom of intercollegiate athletics is sealed. But they can all be subjected to control if the right persons go about it in the right way. And Professor Kennedy shows us how. In the first place, wise faculty control.
