To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
There is a great and crying need of reform. The sore spots are "foreign games" (games played away from the colleges) and gambling. My personal convictions are that college games should be played on college grounds, and only on college grounds. Further than this it is not necessary to go, if training on the part of the team is what it should be, for it should be borne in mind that, if the players are well managed, it is not they, but the camp-followers, who are respon- 17 sible for the dissipati...on which takes place after games; and I am confident that I am within bounds when I say- that the more serious acts of a bad nature are caused by young alumni and former students. This latter class is a large and always an aggressive one, especially when they have been dismissed from college. The small col- leges are not much troubled with the evil of "foreign" games. They feel, however, that their athletic interests suffer from the ill report which proceeds from the after- math of the great city games.
