As the only two of the six specified members were present at the meeting, it was necessary to postpone any action until the others could be reached. There will be no meeting, as R. E. Gross '19 and N. S. Walker '20 are absent in the service, but letters will be sent to them and a decision reached as soon as possible. Those of the Athletic Committee present...
