Established as a pH'
nal college in 1890, the D
III
dent bodies, were here-to-fore unaccus
tomed to the ways of clean rivalry and
good sportsmanship-. j
Here a change for the better is defi
nitely noticeable. Accompanying this
friendly attitude of sportsmanship there
seems to have arisen a more thoughtful
and gentlemanly behavior when the oc
casion expects it. 4:,
Sportsmanship is something that Is as
dynamic as life itself and our efforts and
disposition should constantly strive to
ward higher achievement of this abstract
quality that jirmliuTs tangible results.
The whole Southwest Conference Is in
a receptive mood to strengthen the cus
toms of sportsmanship and to work to
gether In harmony. This attitude, pre
sented as It has been, Is new to American
colleges. There can be no doubt that this
atmosphere of good sportsmanship that
our conference enjoys will spread beyond
to other campuses.
