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 student, 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.
