John F. Dryden, Pres’t. GRADUATE ATHLETIC ASSN, Hiarvard’s Plan for More Support and ‘Unity Well Under Way. The Harvard Graduate Athletic As- sociation was formally organized in Sanders Theater, in Cambridge, Wed- nesday evening, Jan. 26. Five hundred representative Harvard graduates were “present, and their approval of the ex- pressed sentiments of those at the head of the movement for a permanent policy showed an abounding faith in the new organization. Briefly stated, the objects of the Graduate Athletic Association are to arouse interest in the success of Har- vard athletic teams, to obtain financial support for them, to gather from all over the country, wherever the Univer- sity draws from, reliable information concerning the athletic material in the Freshman class and to let the great body of graduates know just what is being done. The men elected to office were as follows: F. W. Moore, ’93, Secretary; A. G. Hodges, ’74, New York; W. A. Ban- croft, "78, Cambridge; E. D. Brande- gee, 81, Utica, N. Y.; Geo. B. Morri- son, ‘83, Boston; Roland W. Boyden, 85, Beverly, Mass.; J. J. Storrow, 85, Boston; A. P. Gardner, ’86, Hamilton, Mass.; W. A. Brooks, Jr., ’87, Boston; A..F, Holden, ’88, Salt Lake City; J. H. Sears, ’89, New York; E. C. Stor- row, '80, Boston; OO, Cicago: J. Pp. Hutchinson, ’go, Philadelphia; A. J. Cumnock, ’91, New York; Nicholas Longworth, ’o1, Cin- cinnati; J. P. Lee, ’91, New Mork: N. Watriss, 92, New York; A. J. Dib- blee, 93, San Francisco; L. A. Froth- ingham, ’93, Boston; B. G. Waters, 94, Boston; R. D, Wrenn, ’95, New York; N. W. Bingham, Jr,-’95, Cam- bridge; D. D. Scannell; ’97, Boston; E. N. Wrightington, ’97, Boston. _ The principal speeches of the even- ing were made by Gen. W. A. Ban- croft, 78, and Hon. Theodore Roose- velt. General Bancroft,’ after depre- cating the familiar reasons given for Harvard’s continued athletic reverses, said in part: : “If we are to win, we must strike out on our own lines and inaugurate some beneficial change which shall not be merely an attempt to reproduce ineffi- ciently conditions existing elsewhere. Such is the reason which has led to the movement for a graduate athletic asso- ciation. : : “Through this organization we shall obtain information about all the mate- rial of which our Freshman class is composed. All members will report to the secretary with regard to the athletic qualifications Of students entering Har- vard from their neighborhood. This information will be systematically sift- ed and tabulated and the results turned over to the coaches and captains to be methodically used. Again, all captains Kellogg Fairbank, | and coaches in the future will have a definite body to whom they may appeal for advice with a certainty that none will be given which has been insuffi- ciently considered, or which is likely to prove inconsistent with the true ath- letic interests of the University. “So much for the association from the student point of view. Its more cation of graduate sentiment. The divergence of graduate advice in the past has caused much concrete harm. graduates interested in athletics fo band together and elect representatives whose duty it shall be to inform them- selves of the facts and impart their © opinions to all members of the asso- ciation. We call authorities to fully inform our repre- sentatives, and we confidently expect | that all graduates desirous of criticiz- ing will first ascertain the exact state _ of affairs by writing to our secretary.” Hon. Theodore Roosevelt, ’80, being | introduced, expressed his pleasure at the earnestness shown in the endeavor to turn the tide of Harvard’s defeats, and continuing said: _ “Tam a very great believer in athlet- . ies, because’ I feel “that @ ‘yniversity | Diteliect is a godt thing: but | For sample policies, terms, etc., address should do more than merely develop intellect. there is something better, and that is | | | | | | | | upon the student — character—force and strength of will— | power to hold one’s place as a man among men. And athletics, no less than study, help to develop character, “And: while I appreciate to the full what intellect, what a trained mind means, I am bound to say that the longer I live the more I feel that; after all, intellect comes second to the quali- ties of perseverance, of dogged reso- lution, of power, of self-command and of.the masterful spirit; in other words, to. the qualities that tend to make a man a good athlete, just as they tend to make him a success in the serious work of after life. And I will also confess to a liking for those forms of athletics which are sometimes called ‘rather rough.’ “TI trust we shall develop men not afraid of men, and that whenever one butts up against the man opposite he will have a healthy desire to overthrow him, to ‘get through him,’ but to do it as a gentleman should, not to do it weakly—to play for every ounce there is in him, but to play fair.” Mr. Roosevelt closed his speech with a plea for forbearance if the organiza- tion did not bring about a revolution in one year or two years or three years. He prophesied certain success through perseverance. » wy aig The College Pulpit. The following men will occupy the pulpit in Battell Chapel for the next four Sundays: February 6—President M. W.
