...ordering a uniform the governors of the society have removed the temptation to that frequent change of apparel, which may have arisen from the liberty the students have had of choosing different colours from time to time; and by entirely prohibiting silk, (an unnecessary article in clothing), a very considerable expense is prevented...
...need not be surprised at the criticism of the present mode of dress, for it has always been the hobby among a certain class, consisting usually of dyspeptic men and old maids, to rail at the prevailing style of female apparel.

Last year complaint was made by several persons who brought ladies, that some of the contestants were improperly clothed, and, to prevent any further complaint, it may be well to specify what must be worn. Loose drawers to the knee seem the most suitable articles for running or walking, but if contestants wear tights, the Executive Committee will insist upon trunks being worn over them.
