...secure the proper degree of uniformity was through the establishment of a board representing all the colleges interested, a board to be intrusted with the preparation and the marking of examination papers for admission in all cases where subjects and limits could be agreed upon. A free expenditure of money is necessary to procure the proper men for so important a board. Oxford and Cambridge have followed this plan successfully for years, but theirs is a board of well paid officers. The community of interest between the schools and the colleges is absolute. The hard drudgery should not belong entirely...

...enclose a statement of the accounts of the treasurer of the University Foot-Ball Association for last year, which I beg that you will kindly publish. It was the endeavor of the treasurer to make the association self-supporting, i. e. to meet the expenses with receipts from gate money, and not to rely upon subscriptions; it was found impossible to do this wholly without subscriptions, but the treasurer collected of the amount subscribed only such a portion as should pull the association through the year free from debt. It did not seem necessary to lay up a balance...
