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 |

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.
