The appointment of Hon. George 4.
Farr as Regent has brought forth the
suggestion from several papers in the
Western part of the state that he
should be a candidate to succeed Gov-

that Mr. Farr's nomination merely
rests upon his wishes in the matter.

T'he Inlander for January takes up
the question of professionalism ins
western athletics inn a very able series
of articles by men who are closely and
actively connected with our athletics
interests. All of the six articles, each
written without knowledge of any-
other, are agreed on the definition of
the terms, "amateur" and "profession-
al." They unanimously agree that a
professional is one who receives or
ever has received pay for his athletic
powers or services as a coach; ann
amateur, one who follows sport for the
sport's sake.
The tones of the articles are unions-
takable, they declare for reform in our
athiletics where reform is needed, and
voice the feeling of the student body
in this regard. They do not admit the
correctness of all of Caspar Whitney's
chargec, but they agree with him that
things are not as they should be. t r.
Whitney gains our censure when he
dharges all the "rottenness' to the
West. The East has passed through
just such a crisis as now confronts the;
West, and now things have settled+
down ito a state which some eastern
writers seem to regard as almost per-
feet. The suggestion of ann initerCl- TESTIMONIAL TO BAIRD. CALENDAR.
