His contempt for the exhibitions of brute force provided at football games. has becn expressed before, in | other years; but to-day the distinguish- ed philosopher gave & new turn to the | discussion of the ethics of the mame lwuvn he fastenea upon the fogtball stars the undignified appellation of { “pigs.” Professor Howison spoke in part as follows: — College spirit and college loyalty are given vers poor outlefs for expression when a football game, in which eleven fools contest with eleven other fools in the ‘dirt for supremacy, is util- ized as the occasjon for exhibiting the so- lied loyalty and spirit. In my opinion, college lovalty could better be shown by applause and cheers for such men as Royce and Bake than for Knibbs and Overall. The spectacle of twenty-two men ‘wallowing in the dirt of & football field inevitably sug- gests pigy rolling in mire, while thousands of persons “aoot'’ in grand stands at the spec- tacle vrovided on the field. We know what sort of amimals “root.” Pigs “rooi.”’ The pik idea is pretty fully carried out ip the foot- ball frenzy. It is all degrading, disheartening. It seems to. represent the supremacy of dirt and interest In brute force and animalism rampant. People pay $2 50 apiece to see the exhibiti- tion, and perchance 1o see one of the ‘‘pigs' killéd. Then it Is called “loyalty to college™ and an “exhibition of college spirit.” We are supposed as university men to stand for holarship, and mental effort, but when the is all for a pig-like exhibition pro- ooting’ vided® by men wallowing In the dirt, our ideals ceem to have sadly degenerated.
