ATHLETICS.

Games and sports of all kinds are under the special direction of the
General Athletic Association, a student organization whose object is to
promote this class of physical exercises. The faculty, by means of its
committee on athletics, exercises a general advisory control, endeavoring
to foresee and avert dangerous tendencies or excess in physical exercises,
while giving to the students, as far as possible, entire liberty of management:
a strict limit is placed upon the character of intercollegiate games
and the number played away from the university.
