YALE ALUMNI WEEKLY 349 ——_———— SSS water mark of individual and general loyalty. This matter must be made a personal one with every thoughtful Yale man. It is the problem of preserving our old strength as we gain our new. it-4s the problem whose failure to solve left Harvard in the slough of despond for nearly three college generations. it is the problem whose failure on Yale’s part to solve will make it seem to the world that she has lost the best thing she has. We believe that the feeling of some PROFESSOR BENJAMIN MOORE. Professor of Physiology in the Yale Medical School, who has accepted a London Hospital position. individual athletes about ‘their’ Y~ is rather a symptom than a-cause.. It may have appeared here and there in indi- vidual cases and naturally has caused a great deal of comment because it was so strikngly opposed to the spirit of Yale athletics. But there are not many such athletes. The trouble is more deep seated. It is the failure of the individ- ual in the Yale community to feel his re- sponsibility. : Every means to supply that often miss- ing feeling must be adopted. The change of the Society system is one strong move in the right direction. If we can add to that a club which shall be a University home for all Yale men, we shall draw still higher the cord of community feeling. One thing we recommend ~ very strongly—that the athletic managers consider whether they may ‘not more wisely look more often to the under- graduates themselves to-meet athletic expenses. The undergraduate -is not paying anything like the per capita sum for athletics that he was ten years ago. That is one reason why he is not so directly interested in other ways of sup-- porting athletics.
