EDITORIAL Sound Athletic Policy NTERCOLLEGIATE athletics, notably football, are . likely to assum~ shri.nking importance with war as a background. Any declaration of an athletic policy by Ia college trustee or similar governing board may thereby come to have less significance. . But it is important no less to record the reaffirmation by the trust~es at ~~eir Philadelphia meeting in December, that Dickinson will not recede from its position against the subsidy of athletes as such. . This has been the college policy for a number of years. It may explain such disastrous football seasons as last year, but it only adds to the satisfactions of those recent victory years. What most of the undergraduates and many of the alumni of this and every other institution need is a reminder that the team which always wins and never loses makes itself the inevitable target of suspicion. There is nothing in the natural processes of student enrollment that year after year will produce an unbeaten team. Neither expert coaching, nor team morale, nor undying policy of a student body will achieve that result. Its cause lies in subsidy and commercialization and shameless repudiation of amateur sport. If there has been weakness in athletic policy at Carlisle, it has been the failure or inability, as the trustee declaration says, "to arrange a football schedule with colleges which conform to the foregoing (Dickinson) standards "An allowance of three or more years may be required to effectuate this plan. That done and the athletic policy will prove its soundness to the sincere advocates of amateur sport, leaving only the gamblers and the misguided or "win-at-any-price" group dis• satisfied.

More Urgent Than Ever OWEVER appropriate it was, thoughtful alumni did not need the reminder of President Corson that this year's Alumni Fund campaign must not fail. H And failure it will be unless the Fund not merely matches the record but breaks it, not only in numbers of dollars but in numbers of contributors. That expression is warranted, even though it is known that Dickinsonians in taxes, in perhaps diminished income, in increased demands for worthy war-time projects, may find greater difficulties this year than formerly in enriching the Alumni Fund with their dollars. This is a time of sacrifice not only that the nation may be preserved but likewise its democratic processes as symbolized by institutions like Dickinson. From some source must come the financial support to meet the shrinkage in normal income and from what more logical and hopeful source than the body of the alumni? Class secretaries should be more than ever active in canvassing their groups and getting to the task without delay, resorting to all proper means to arouse interest and inspire giving. The solvency and security of the College could easily depend, if it does not certainly depend, upon the steadfastness of its alumni and friends in these times. THE DICKINSON ALUMNUS 17 War Comes To The College AR has come to the Dickinson campus still another time. Like the colonies and the union of states, under which it was born and served, the old college Wfaces still another crisis with the same confidence and courage that preserved its identity and integrity of other testing times. A college which survived the Revolution, the War of 1812, the Mexican, the War Between the States and W odd War I, not counting the lesser hostilities, may be expected to accept this latest and gravest challenge with a calmness worthy of it. Almost at the moment war was declared the college adjusted itself to the realities and all the better for having foreseen the inevitable. There are no sounds of marching feet or bugle calls on the campus, but study courses have been stream• lined, schedules revamped and the life of college and student stripped of trappings of peace. It would be stupid to minimize the seriousness of the situation in a hundred different phases. Reductions in enrollment and reduction in financial income are likelihoods. President Corson, on his page in this issue of THE ALUMNUS portrays the picture with becoming conservatism. It is not a pleasant prospect but a challeng• ing one to every alumnus and friend of the College. Something of every alumnus is in Dickinson and something of Dickinson in every alumnus. It is a relationship which ends only with death and in some instances extends even beyond that. That was the feeling of alumni in the grim war days of other years. It can scarcely be different now. And it is upon that relationship that the College has a full right to depend throughout the crisis. Individuals will have no difficulty in arranging their loyalties in these times but certainly genuine Dickinsonians will not omit from the list a devotion to the college which admitted or not, is a part of their very being. Devotion may be shown in more ways than one. In spirit or in substance or in both, the graduate and the friend of Dickinson can stand by her in her trial and struggle to overcome the war handicaps of earlier years and survive them as triumphantly in this hour as in the days that have gone.

Class Reunions LASS reunions in war times? Or course. Why not? Victory is no less certain because college mates return five, fifteen, thirty, forty and more years after C graduation to spend a day or two in one of the finest fellowships known to human beings. Obviously this is not a time for lavish spending on such reunions, but reunions can be simple and still satisfying and no class should mistake war times for an air raid signal to seek shelter. One hopes that classes will hold their reunions regardless of the times. They may have to follow a war pattern, but that is infinitely better than no reunion at all. The class of 1902 has set its reunion machinery going with due regard for the times, but with no thought that war has blacked out such anniversaries. There can be no finer sedative for war-frayed nerves and dispositions than a class reunion, no finer way for a class to manifest interest in its college than to return to the campus for a reunion, suited to the times. The planning season is at hand. 18 THE DICKINSON ALUMNUS
