This article presents some of the stories published in earlier editions. Deploring over-emphasis on athletics in American colleges, the February 20, 1873, edition of the journal "The Nation" warned: "A college is something better than a training-place for athletes; it needs, indeed, a good hearty and healthy physical training to accompany and aid its intellectual work. But whether the intercollegiate regatta is a desirable means to the good end is a little doubtful, and the college authorities may be obliged to suppress it out of regard to higher interests. It may prove such an unnatural growth of the manly art of boating as is the prize fight of the equally manly art of self-defense."
