a matter of loyalty; but the merit of
the work should be such that it would
commend itself in such a way that it
would have sufficient followers. Such
a plan may work in the University of
Texas but it would not work in many
of the colleges and smalcr schools.
About the only reason why it would
work there is because there are

insurance against the students health.
As to the first the absolute necessity
of athletics in college has long since
been recognized. Almost every stu-
dent in deciding upon the college that
he wil attend takes that into consid-
eration especially those that come
from High School. They next consid-
er whether the college has teams that
can compete for state honors. No
school can have such teams in which
athletics are frozen out from Novem
ber 25th until March 20th when the
base ball season opens. If athletics
are kept alive throughout the year
teams wil be developed that will ad
vertise the college in a large way and
attract many new students
