...rumored that a mass meeting of the students will soon be called by the Athletic Association to consider the new athletic regulations, and to take action determining the course of Harvard's several athletic interests for the future in the matter...
...cannot be said that the action of the Princeton faculty in the present athletic movement as thus far reported is very encouraging so far as Harvard is concerned. As it stands at present Yale has totally withdrawn from the business, Princeton is very doubtful, and is reported as probably opposed to the resolutions.

If five of the colleges most nearly associated with Priceton's athletic interests concur, the resolutions will be adopted. A member of the faculty committee said that the object was to eliminate the professional standard from college athletics and to put the men of all colleges on an equal basis. Harvard, he said, would pass the resolutions any way, but Princeton would not concur on that account or on account of the concurrence...
