It is unfortunate that such statements have been made. On the other hand the
persons making them have not done so without reason. Tho unfortunate part is that
all of those working specifically in physical education are classed together. This
is a serious error on the part of the intercollogiate athletic group. It indicates
a lack of familiarity with the professional work of physical educationists.

The College Physical Education Association membership docs not contrast physical
education and intercollegiate athletics. It is hoped that our membors will continuo
to strive for a fuller understanding of the complete program of physical education
and that they will discourage any attempts to divide the offorts of the professional
groups at this time. : , ;

Persons who have read the original and the supplement of the report of the
Gommittee on the Contributions of College Physical Education to National Propared-
ness must be awaro of the stand taken by tho loaders in our college field.
