...defining more precisely the powers of the base-ball management in the special meeting, Wednesday, the university has placed itself on a more dignified footing, and has opened an avenue for a settlement of this vexed question. In granting these enlarged powers it must not be for a moment supposed that the personal responsibility of the management is a whit lessened, and that they will pass decision on important questions with less regard for the interest and expressed desire of a majority of those they represent. The various schemes have been discussed in all their bearings, and if the issue...
