...members. These meets have always been considered closed by the New England A.A.U., but the sanction for the meet in 1900 was made out for an open meet because of a misunderstanding. Yale now has that sanction as evidence, but to meet it there is a statement from the New England A. A. U., that it considers the games closed. An argument against allowing the protest is that the Diocesan games are similar in every way to the interscholastic meets given annually by Harvard, Yale, Princeton and Pennsylvania, and that if the Diocesan games are declared open the interscholastic ones...
...surroundings is slight, and which are possessed of no striking merit. Of his own book he says in his preface: "No Harvard man will take this book seriously. It deals solely with the doings of a few extremists." The reader is likely to agree with him. In making this statement he has deserved better of the University than some fellow-authors who express no qualification in their writing.

The Board proposes to deal with questions of policy...
...last annual meeting the Directors distributed a detailed printed statement of the Society's business; they announced at the same time that they proposed to make future statements even more detailed, should that be practicable. They announced also that they proposed to extend the audit so that it should not only afford protection against fraud or carelessness, but should also tell whether the management was growing more or less costly; what was the margin between the price at which the Society bought and the price at which it sold; and how that margin was divided between expenses and dividends...
