...Amherst faculty has not yet decided what action to take in regard to the resolutions recently drawn up by the Inter-collegiate Conference on Athletics in New York. It is probable, however, that the subject will be referred either to the Senate or Baseball Association, and that the faculty will act according to the desire of the students. The subject has created quite an excitement among the students, and their opinions seem to be evenly divided as to whether Amherst should adopt the resolutions...
...your yesterday's editorial, you allude to the wire-pulling methods of the faculty. That phrase, I think, is the proper one with which to characterize their present action in regard to the petition from the executive officers of our different athletic associations, which is now before them. The faculty earnestly wish that this petition should not be made public. For, say they, we will lose all hopes of coercing Yale, if it should be made public. Is not Yale entitled to the knowledge of the true state of feeling at Harvard? How then shall we characterize the action...
...second half-year on Thursday evening, in Sever 11. A fair sized audience listened with interest, and pronounced the debate one of the best which the Union has held this year. The first vote was on the merits of the question: "Resolved, that Wendell Phillips' course in regard to slavery was that of a true statesman," and the result was: affirmative, 22; negative, 30. The debate was then opened for the affirmative by A. Z. Bowen, '85, and he was followed by Merriam, '86, for the negative. Messrs. E. T. Sanford. '85, and W. B. Scofield, '87, then closed...
...first one, in reference to the appointment of a director of physical training, has no especial fault, other than its uselessness. We have no objection to the printing of a dozen names, more or less, in the college catalogue. In regard to the second resolution, excluding professional trainers, student opinion is divided. No one objects to the general theory that professionalism should be excluded from our athletics. But a great many do object to the methods which have been adopted to exclude that professionalism. The faculty certainly would not wish us to have amateur teachers in mathematics or physics...
...resolution, it is hard to discover. But stay! a faint rumor reaches our ears that this resolution was passed to satisfy Princeton, who had no similar organizations to practice with. This then, is one of those delightful compromises that are so pleasant to read about. The fourth resolution in regard to a faculty committee, is harmless padding. The committee would probably carefully mind its own business and let the students alone. The fifth resolution, in regard to no man engaging in sports more than four years, is some more padding. The conference committee wanted to make a show of having...
