In this regard their moving incentive seemed to be that competition and tournaments had become a fixity in the college system, and the question which was left for them to determine was, how to bring the best influence to bear upon the students taking part. As a result of their deliberation a set of "Regulations of the Committee on Athletics" have been adopted...

That a change is taking place there can be no doubt. In what it will finally result it is impossible to tell.

Now let us take the smaller number, and let us suppose that, on the average, they are half through their college course. The amount the deceased would have paid in term bills is forever lost to the College, - a trifle (excluding interest) of $12,000. To this must be added...
