Two weeks have elapsed since the CRIMSON offered its proposals for reducing the over-emphasis of college football--sufficient time to allow for a very widespread discussion of the problem.
The college papers were the first to speak. The Yale News, the Dartmouth, the Princetonian, and the undergraduate papers at Amherst and Tufts, have all taken stands similar in their principal points to that of the CRIMSON. The logical outcome of such discussions was the Middletown platform endorsed by delegates from 23 colleges.
Meanwhile, the metropolitan papers have not been silent. Their editorial columns have reflected various points of view. Believing that Harvard students will be interested to know how the outside world regards the movement in which Harvard has taken so large a part, the CRIMSON reprints in these columns striking excerpts from the editorial statements of many papers in various sections of the country. Some are outspoken in their commendation of the movement to reduce the over-emphasis of football. Others are equally outspoken in opposition. Still others are non-committal.
It is significant to notice the alignment of papers in each group. The comments speak for themselves.
