At present the only help which we get is from the elective pamphlet or by hunting up the various instructors, But such lectures, although not aiming specifically at such an end, would without doubt accomplish it incidentally; and the instructors would be enabled to do much more service to the university, both in instructing its students and widening its fame...

The other changes are slight, rule 11 being filled up by pushing back 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17. The ball is not put in play after a catch...
