It is arranged in a way specially adapted for use by "the Chair" from such standard authorities as Roberts, Cushing, Matthias, Jefferson and Crocker. Where the authorities differ, the view most conformable to the latest and most thoroughly established usages of parliamentary law has been accepted...

We do not stipulate that any other college shall fall in line with us; yet we shall be glad to see them do so. We shall not refuse to play colleges because they differ with us in our views of the proper restrictions which should be placed upon athletes.
