The Washburn Argo from Topeka, Kansas • 9

THE WASHBURN THE WASHBURN ARGO. 11 feeling. There is nothing that will cause so great interest and enthusiasm in a college as athletic contests. Perhaps each college will send a delegation of ten or twelve to the State oratorical contest but let two of our rival ball clubs or foot racers meet and we will see every student throw away his books and brimming over with patriotic enthusiasm rush to the ball ground or race course. In view of the lack of interest our colleges show in this line and the great need, we would recommend a State Inter-Collegiate Athletic association.
